Why are ballet dancers normally short?
How ridiculous, that the top answer here is that ballet dancers are not short. They are demonstrably short, and considerably shorter than the non-dancer population. In fact, many ballerinas have been rejected as students for already being too tall for admission to schools at age 10.Nureyev was 5'8" and Barishnikov was only 5'5". Given that most schools do not admit tall students, there is obviously self-selection. But also is the issue that the spongiform ends of the long bones are more rapidly turned to fused states when impact pressure is applied. Gymnasts have the same issue. Gymnasts are self-selecting for slight builds, but the impact of their leaps and jumps cause bones to stop elongating sooner than they might without such impact pressure. So it is a combination of smaller stature children undertaking behaviors that inhibit long bone elongation.

What are some ballet facts?
ballet is graceful You need to be tall and thin you use ballet shoes or pointe shoes for this dance Uses classical music ballet focuses on 5 positions ballet developed in Italy women have more importance than men You DO NOT have to be tall and thin to be a ballerina, these ballerinas are only found in operatically performances. The true 'dance school ballerina' is not always tall and thin and there is no need to be, some of the best dancers in my school aren't the tallest or the thinnest and i resent people stereotyping. It is true, you do not have to be tall or thin to be a ballet dancer. You also don't have to use classical music. Ballet also has SIX positions. (though the sixth is usually not focused on until you start pointe) Also, women have only recently become more important than men, and even in that case it isn't always true. (Men used to be the definite stars of the shows. All the women did was gracefully move from pose to pose until they started taking the corsets off) Ballet originated in Italy yes, but it also started in Russia and France.
