Benefits of Ballet

1. Improve body posture

Ballet helps you get the ideal posture. Every movement requires attention to how you should carry yourself from one position to another. Some typical ballet movements, such as Port de Bras and High Swan Arms, are useful in improving slouching posture by pulling shoulders back and making the neck more level.

2. Sharpen cognitive functions

Ballet is a combination of pilates and resistance training. When practicing ballet, ballerina requires breath coordination throughout the dance. Performing quite complex movements, such as jumps and turns using bodyweight alone can strengthen the core and lower body. As you continue to practice consistently, this will maintain the integrity of your movements and motor skills.

3. Maintain mental health

Similar to learning new sports, becoming proficient in ballet makes the brain challenged to synchronize body movements with what is expected. A meta-analysis shows that ballet and other dances are the right way to prevent age-related mental disorders such as dementia.

4. Burn lots of calories

Just like physical activity in general that can burn calories, ballet too. Although it seems that the movements in ballet are very graceful and gentle, but ballet is an activity that requires a lot of energy so that when doing ballet the body can burn more calories. These burned calories vary depending on the bodyweight of the ballerina itself.

5. Increase flexibility

If you often see photos and videos of ballet dances, you will realize that ballerinas have a flexible body. Well, true flexibility is not a prerequisite for being able to do ballet beautifully.
