We usually let girls learn dance, but if they are boys, they may learn piano or taekwondo. For girls, many parents choose Latin dance and folk dance, but ballet is also a kind of dance that parents prefer. For children, I like it better.
Although ballet is a kind of dance, it is different from Latin dance or other dances. Ballet is higher and needs more ballet scholars, which is very difficult to learn.
Ballet is a kind of European classical dance, which originated in the Italian Renaissance. It developed and became popular in France after17th century, and then spread all over the world because of the constant renewal of ballet. At present, ballet is still a symbol of elegance and nobility.
Ballet is also called swan dance, because the ballet dancer will wear white skirts, socks and shoes, even the headdress is usually white, and the ballet dancer is light in posture, running and jumping like a white swan, so it is also called swan dance.
Because when a ballet dancer dances, she needs to touch the ground on tiptoe, jump constantly, or rotate and run, which consumes a lot of energy and physical strength for a person. If a ballerina is a little fatter, she is probably too fat to dance. So when we watch the ballet performance, the ballet dancers on it are very thin and light.
Because of the need of work, ballet dancers need to keep fit for a long time, and because they want to dance ballet, they need to control their diet for a long time, so as to restrain themselves from getting fat by controlling their diet.
Of course, some people will question why you don't exercise if you don't want to get fat. In fact, there is a reason for this. A ballet dancer should not only have light feet, but also have graceful lines, and exercise may increase muscles, resulting in no graceful lines. Besides, ballet is tiring enough at ordinary times, so there is no need to exercise.
For a ballet dancer, it is very easy to control the body diet, because it is the need of work. If you have no self-control and control your weight, you may lose your job. Therefore, in the usual diet, the ballet dancer's diet must be very healthy, and it is the kind with light nutrition.
We ordinary people may eat some foods with high sugar content or high fat content in our usual diet. But ballerinas don't eat these things to keep fit. Besides, the ballet dancer's diet and body posture are not only maintained by herself, but also guided and supervised by professional coaches. So ballet dancers can control their diet and keep fit.
