Best Answer

Yes. Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through it's complete range of movement and the degree of flexibility is specific to each joint. Flexibility is very important to avoid injuries during activities. Also, a lot of things Ballet dancers do require flexibility. You can become better at everything from arabesques to leaps with more flexibility.

However you don't necessarily need to be flexible to start ballet. Improving flexibility is relatively easy compared to improving strength or extension or turnout.
