BENEFITS OF BALLET FOR YOUR HEALTH

Maybe you will not believe it, but ballet has a lot of benefits that you may not know. Today, I'm going to show you 6 of them:

ELASTICITY:  It may be the most obvious one. For many steps such as grand jeté or a developpé will require a lot of elasticity, especially on your legs.

• ENERGY: As with any other sport, you will activate your body, so it will be more energetic and healthy. Also, you will sleep better.

• POSITION: Doing ballet you will be forced to put your back right, your shoulders ''opened'' and your upper back ''closed''

• CONTROL OF THE DIZZINESS: For some especific steps such as fouettes or pirouettes, you will need a good control of the dizziness, if you don't want to end up vomiting after doing many turns.

• CONCENTRATION AND MEMORY: While dancing you will be forced to get concentrated and forget about anything else. Also you will improv yoour memory by having to remember long variations 

• FRIEDSHIP: Having to share barre with other mates; or having to do a group variation or a pas a deux will improve your social ability and you will do new friends.
