Ballet is some of the most graceful, beautiful and demanding forms of dance in the world. As a male ballet dancer you must be light on your feet, strong and not afraid to look funny in tights. As a female ballet dancer or ballerina you must be all those things as well as resilient. One of the most difficult things about being a ballerina is dancing on the tips of your toes. This is a signature dance form of ballerinas that many seek to emulate and few accomplish well. This takes years of practice and conditioning of the body to be able to do. To all the little girls out there, while it is difficult to become a ballerina it is also fun and rewarding as well so work hard and you can be there one day.

Every little girl at one time or another thinks of being a ballerina. The beauty, the grace, the presence. It is a gorgeous art form that deserves respect. This free video series will explore some of the beginning facets to ballet dancing and address some of the most important things you need to know as you begin your dancing journey. You will learn about the 5 basic points or stances that ballerinas must know, what a pirouette is and how to do one and even how to lace up your toe shoes. Take a look for yourself and have fun!
