Ballet involves graceful movements of the body and the use of facial expressions to portray a story. Ballet involves lots of jumping and turning, but also a lot of slow balancing and lithe movements.

Male ballet dancers usually do a lot of the jumping and fast movements as they require maximum strength, and females usually do the more graceful things. Female dancers also dance en pointe which is where the end of the shoe and the sole of the shoe are hardened so that the dancer can balance on the very ends of their toes. This takes strength in the feet and legs and also good balance, along with years of training.

Ballet is one of the hardest things that people can do, but the best ballet dancers make it look easy. That is why there is a common misconception that ballet is easy, and many people think it is rubbish. Only the smarter ones know the true brilliance of a ballet dancer.
