What Does It Really Take To Be A Ballet Dancer?

Welcome to an honest and in-depth look at the realistic life of a ballet dancer. In this video, we pull back the curtain to talk about the daily experiences, challenges, and triumphs that define the life of a ballet dancer.
Join Michael as he speaks on the rigorous training routines, the physical and mental demands, and the relentless pursuit of perfection that ballet dancers face. We'll also discuss the less glamorous aspects of the profession, such as injuries, career uncertainty, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of artistic excellence.

I would do it all over again! Now I am 61 and teach. When I get home and get out of the car after teaching I feel about 100 years old, creaky and stiff. But I can't stop myself from using my body to demonstrate for my students - at least to convey the FEELING of the movements because I sure can't manage the technique anymore.

It is beauty and art in motion. I have full respect for ballet dancers.

So is ballet more good or bad for the body when you get older after being professional?

[@michaelwise535]

Ballet is good for the body. Anything difficult comes with aches and pains
