Ballet is the foundation from which all dancers should build. Working on turnout, strength, grace, and poise, Ballet teaches the body proper placement. It is the most disciplined form of dance and the most respected. Every dancer with a proper ballet base is guaranteed to improve in all forms of dance.

Ballet Fun Facts

1. A Male dancer lifts over one and a half tonnes worth of ballerinas during performances
2. Most ballerinas wear out 2-3 pairs of pointe shoes per week
3. One tutu costs up to 1076 pounds to make
4. That same tutu requires 60-90 hours of labour and 100yards of ruffle!
5. A three-hour ballet performance is roughly equivalent to two 90-minute soccer games back to back or running 18 miles.
6. Pointe shoes add a minimum of 7 inches of new height to a dancer.
7.  A prima ballerina can complete 32 fouette turns, while staying in the exact same spot on the floor. After the turns, her pointe shoe tip is HOT to the touch and it is so worn out that it is used then only for rehearsal.
