Is ballet to old to be modern?

Answer 1

DEFINITELY not!!!!!!!!! I do Ballet and we are very current. They are always making improvements and things of the sort. Shoes are evolving into more supportive, and sleeker looking shoes. Leotard styles are changing, we now have hairnets for our buns, music is becoming clearer, lights are fancier, floors are cushioned, not at all is it unmodern! also, there is contemporary ballet, which is a mix of modern dance with ballet. Ballet also builds the skills required for more popular types of dance today, such as hip hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, modern, contemporary, swing dancing, ANY type of dances goes back to ballet. Ballet is actually a required class for most people who do any type of dance competitively. Ballet is in it's PRIME TIME right now. :)
