The beauty of ballet is not only in its grace and artistry.
It builds lean muscle, develops strength, stamina, and agility: it develops a dancer's muscles year by year, honing a child into a young athlete who can easily switch disciplines thanks to the training of movement patterns and exercises that use the same muscles as baseball, basketball, soccer, maartial arts, and other forms of dance.
Ballet is one of THE best activities young people (or any of us) can do to benefit overall physical fitness and gain skills that apply to a wide variety of discliplines.
