A lot of it has to do with spotting. Spotting means you look to one side while turning then you flip you're head to continue looking to the side you are spotting. I suggest looking up spotting on Google or something...
Other things include lots of practise, good balance and stable take off.

Not necessarily, i know some amazing dancers that arnt the size of poles...but alot of schools are picky.
Just stay focused and be relaxed. Don't be all worried. If you are calm and focused, you will not lose balance. Trust me. I gave that advice to my best friend, and it helped. A LOT.
In Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota.
there isn't really a person who "started" ballet. ballet originated in Italy, moving with catherine de medici to France when she married king Henry II. she introduced her tradition of Ballo, or dance. in the 1700's, king Louis of France became fascinated with ballet. not only did he create the first ballet academy, he also danced in every production of all the dances. that is, until he became too fat. :( :P from there, France slowly began to lose interest, and that's where russia comes in. Russian george balachine brought ballet to America. tada! a brief history of ballet. :)
You have to lake lessons, studio or private lessons (recommended for best learning) You have to train HARD, about and hour a day if you want to be sucessful. Usually the ballerinas today started when they were very young (For best results start between the ages 3-8). You have to try your best to never take a break or miss a practice, everything counts! When you are older (18+) hopefully you have practiced Ballet for a minimum of 8 yrs. you must get discovered by signing up with a Ballet Company (example: American Ballet Theatre), you may be turned down but never lose hope, come back in a few months and try again, they will be convinced sooner or later! You will start with being in the "Corps de Ballet" Background dancers (Do some research for more info). The Ballerina is the main dancer and center of attention, so you have to go through about 2-3 levels in skill. Hope that answers your question, if you have a dream to become a Ballerina one day-- I hope you try your best!
