Why do ballerinas wear tights?
Ballerinas wear tights so that they simply all look the same. They all get the same color tights. So the imperfections of their legs don't show. Tights have a classical look to them. Something has to absorb the perspiration from the lower half of their body and make their legs look good. Socks and long underwear are too thick and not as fashionable. Besides, it's not just ballerinas. The male dancers wear them, too.
How much do ballerinas weigh?
A "classic" body of a ballerina would have long, slender arms and legs; a small head; and a long neck. The height of the ballerina will determine her ideal weight. Most ballerinas are between 5'3" and 5'8", so the weight range is generally 85 pounds to 130 pounds depending on height and other factors such as muscle mass.
Are ballerinas the strongest athletes?
They may not be the strongest, but they certainly are strong. Ballerinas often have great control over their bodies and how they move, along with being strong. After all, their legs have to be able to support propelling them into the air on leaps and holding fast on turns. Ballerinas are incredably strong and probobly are the strongest athletes out there
Are the legs part of a bats body?
yes um how else are they gonna hang upside down?
How is ballet different from or similar to other types of dance?
Well, ballet is an extremely good workout, which is similar to hip hop, modern, jazz, tap, etc. You mainly work your legs in all of these types of dancing, which is another key similarity. Ballet is fairly similar to modern, you usually dance something that flows together, and you point your feet and stretch your legs a lot. On the other hand, hip hop, jazz, modern and tap have many sudden movements and you turn in a lot. If you're not a ballet dancer, it means your feet are parallel when dancing. Ballerinas dance with their heels pretty much touching and their toes pointing away from their body.
