She has me interested in everything that has to do with ballet. The dancer excelled in ballet. I must leave now if I am to see the opening of tonight's ballet performance.
You can't just go to NYCB's training school, which is really called the School of American Ballet. You must be admitted into it by the time you are 18 years old, and have perfect turnout, decent musicality, and a good body for ballet. It really isn't a college; it is connected with Juiliard, however, which is good for ballet and modern dancing. It's not the same as SAB or NYCB, though. Other ballet colleges are North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA), Mercyhurst PA, Indiana, Point Park. But those are more intense schools. Other colleges, like Kutztown, offer smaller ballet programs that aren't as intense as other colleges.
Kyloias: No that is wrong the best school in England is Colchester Royal Grammar School. You must pass the 11+ to go there. I did mine last year and recently received infomation that I passed. This means I am going to Colchester Royal Grammar School, the best school in England.

Yes, in every developed country, children between 5 and 16 must be in education, whether it be in a public school, a private school or even a homeschool session.
Usually, you must be reasonably flexible, have good musicality, the ability to learn quickly, and have ballet/other dance training.
You must be really stupid. Ballet has no paradox. It gives up a chance to wonder times and worlds not of ours with emotion and skill. Ballet is only a paradox for those week minded in the modern world who think ballet is a wast of time.
Ballet is a very elegant form of movement. it requires procission and dynamics. to be a good ballerina you must be strong, supple and graceful. Ballet is a pure form of dancing and one of the hardest.
Ballet is a very challenging sport. It is hard to compare it to outdoor sports, because, in Soccer (for example) you must run around in muddy conditions. In ballet, you have a heated studio. Ballet is completley un-natural to the human body, other sports are natural. If you do not have sought after turn-out in your hips, Ballet will be very challenging as you must take time to work the hips into a more turned-out position. This is all very un-natural. With pointe shoes, you are dancing on the very tip of your toes. This is one of THE MOST challenging aspects of Ballet. Ballet takes dedication, flexibility, and performing ability. If you mess-up on stage, you must make it appear as if nothing at all happened. And you must do this in front of hundreds or even thousand of people. So inconclusion, YES ballet is one of the most challenging sports.
First you need to find a good dance school in your area that offers ballet classes. Then, after you have enrolled in a dance school you must purchase some specific clothes for the ballet classes including the following...Tights "Ballet Pink" colorConvertable is best because it allows you to wear them footed or footless in just a simple move.LeotardCheck with your ballet instructor. In many dance schools, the teachers give different levels different colors. Depending on the school, they also might make students buy specific leotards directly from them.Ballet SlippersMost schools prefer simple leather, pink ballet slippers.Make sure they fit snuggly, but not too tight because the leather will stretch just a bit.Have them fitted so they fit well for your feet.For the most part that is all you probably need. Just check with your instructor to see if they need any other specifics, but for a beginner ballet student, you should be set as long as you have these things!*Bai*
The main equiptment you need is passion and dedication. Ballet can be very time consuming, you must be aware of that. You will also need pink ballet shoes, pink tights, and a leotard(preferably black).
