Ballet is graceful
You need to be tall and thin
you use ballet shoes or pointe shoes for this dance
Uses Classical Music
ballet focuses on 5 positions
ballet developed in Italy
women have more importance than men
You DO NOT have to be tall and thin to be a ballerina, these ballerinas are only found in operatically performances. The true 'dance school ballerina' is not always tall and thin and there is no need to be, some of the best dancers in my school aren't the tallest or the thinnest and i resent people stereotyping.
It is true, you do not have to be tall or thin to be a ballet dancer. You also don't have to use classical music. Ballet also has SIX positions. (though the sixth is usually not focused on until you start pointe) Also, women have only recently become more important than men, and even in that case it isn't always true. (Men used to be the definite stars of the shows. All the women did was gracefully move from pose to pose until they started taking the corsets off)
