I would say yes, but I don't know of any statistics or anything. But dancers who are overworked are more prone to injuries, so for a dancer who is overworked it is good to have great technique to help reduce the chance of getting an injury. But for a person who dances for maybe half the time of an overworked dancer isn't as likely to be injured because he/she wont be so physically exhausted when he/she dances and will be able to keep up with technique and stay careful.

What is a male ballerina called?

Because you said "Ballerina" that means the top ballet dancer in a company. There can only be one Ballerina in a company. The male counterpart would be called a Danseur Nobel. Other male dancers would be called Danseurs, or by their rank such as Principal, Soloist or Corps de ballet or just ballet dancer. The same goes for the other women in the company. They would be just called ballet dancers or by their rank. Never a Ballerina.

How much is the ballet costumes cost?

This depends on what type of costume you are talking about. Most small studios order pre made costumes that normally cost around $80. On the other hand, professional, custom fitted tutus may cost up to $2500. This high cost depends on how many layers of tulle the tutu has and how much detailing the top of the tutu has. These tutus are often bought by ballet students in pre-professional ballet academies and youth ballet dancers that compete in competitions like PRIX and such that get you noticed by the ballet companies. Once ballet dancers get excepted into a company, all the costumes are re-worn and fitted to each dancer. The dancers pay no money for the costumes because they are owned by the company and they only wear them for performances.


Are ballet steps painful?

Ballet is only painful when you turn your feet out to much, or are trying to lift your leg higher. Sometimes it can hurt if one knee or ankle is growing faster than the other. That tends to happen a lot to dancers, at least in my class.
