Ballet technique is drilled into ballet students to develop the desired aesthetics and to prevent injury.
For example, students are taught to avoid sickling of the foot, which is an undesirable aesthetic and can result in ankle injuries when performing en pointe..
While ballet dance focuses on repetitive lower-body movements, modern dance focuses on a combination of upper- and lower-body movements (Shah et al., 2012)..
Unlike youth sports that focus on running around and learning physical skills only, ballet also teaches smooth coordination, micro-abilities, and balance.
It also promotes excellent posture, which can help kids in many other areas of their life, even when it comes to alertness in school..
Technique is essential to good ballet but there is an even more core reason why it is such a big focus – good technique reduces the chance of being injured.
Not only does it help you with the moves that make up the dance, it ensures that your body is in the right place to do this without hurting yourself..
