Well, I dance and we do it because it looks nicer for one. It also helps with the footing. If you go sideways you have to do the moves sideways and that just makes it more complicated. Dancers don't go front either because then the audience can't see how they dance. If you are on a diagonal you can see the side of their feet and how it works.

Do you have to go to college to be a dancer if so how long?

Yes , a ballet dancer has to go to collage because once the dancer gets into collage they would most likely to get into the collage dance group that they have. But if the collage dancer doesn't have a collage dance group in their collage then they can find a dance teacher somewhere so a ballet dancer doesn't really have to go to collage if they don't have all the money but the ballet dancer can just find a dance teacher and not go to collage but i would go to collage so can get more smart and dance more.
