HOW ARE BALLET DANCERS TRAINED?
Girls who study ballet generally begin by age eight to ten. Boys often start
later. Ballet training is hard work. Ballet students must develop strength, balance,
and flexibility as well as grace. They must learn a set of movements and
gestures. Girls also learn to dance on their toes. They usually begin pointe (tip-
of-the-toes) work after three years of training.
All ballet students practice five basic positions of the feet. These five
positions form the basis of almost all ballet steps. All of these positions are
performed with the legs turned outward at the hip. The feet should be able to
form a straight line on the floor.
The turned-out position gives a dancer a more pleasing “line.” Line has to
do with the placement of the dancer’s body, in motion and at rest. All parts of the
dancer’s body must be placed in the correct position to achieve good line.
Training can improve a dancer’s line. Good line gives a dancer the greatest
stability and ease of movement. It also makes the dancer’s body seem light in
weight.
All dancers take daily classes to keep their bodies flexible and strong. Most
classes begin with warm-up exercises at the barre, a railing that dancers hold
onto for support. The second part of the class consists of slow exercises that
develop balance and fluid (flowing, not jerky) motion. After this, dancers
practice quick movements, such as small jumps and leg extensions, and then
large steps, turns, and leaps.
1/ Girls who study ballet generally begin later than boys.
2/ Ballet students don’t have to build up might, steadiness, flexibility and

elegance.
3/ Boys also learn to dance on their toes.
4/ Only ballet girls practice five basic positions of the feet.
5/ Ballet students perform all of these positions with the legs turned external at
the hip.
6/ The turned-out pose gives a performer a more satisfying “line.”
7/ Dancers must place all parts of their body in the correct position to attain good
line.
8/ Without training dancers can improve their line.
9/ So as to keep their bodies flexible and strong all dancers take daily classes.
10/ Most classes begin with slow exercises that increase balance and fluid
(flowing, not jerky) motion.
