Ballet Dance
Ballet is a very wonderful mixture of a number of arts: Dancing, Music, Drama, Poetry and Painting. When these are combined and presented on the stage, you have the art of ballet. It is a highly disciplined stage art, based on a centuries-old tradition of movement.
Reason for doing ballet:
Ballet fulfills the natural need to move to music.
Develops a sense of movement, rhythm & appreciation of music.
Ballet helps to co-ordinate mind and body.
It helps to improve poor posture and improve poise.
It improves body control and balance.
Ballet is a confidence builder and promotes self-discipline.
It teaches discipline of body and emotions.
Ballet is an introduction to other art forms, eg. music, art, design, drama.
Showtime teaches students proper ballet technique, and we put great emphasis on the method and execution of movement. A distinctive feature of ballet is the outward rotation of the thighs from the hip. The foundation of the dance consists of five basic positions, all performed with the turnout. Students are required to learn the names, meanings, and precise technique of each movement they learn. Emphasis is put on building strength mostly in the lower body, particularly the legs, and the core (also called your center or stomach) as a strong core is necessary for many movements in ballet, especially turns , and on developing flexibility,strong feet for going en pointe.
