Ballet is a very challenging sport. It is hard to compare it to outdoor sports, because, in Soccer (for example) you must run around in muddy conditions. In ballet, you have a heated studio. Ballet is completley un-natural to the human body, other sports are natural. If you do not have sought after turn-out in your hips, Ballet will be very challenging as you must take time to work the hips into a more turned-out position. This is all very un-natural. With pointe shoes, you are dancing on the very tip of your toes. This is one of THE MOST challenging aspects of Ballet. Ballet takes dedication, flexibility, and performing ability. If you mess-up on stage, you must make it appear as if nothing at all happened. And you must do this in front of hundreds or even thousand of people. So inconclusion, YES ballet is one of the most challenging sports.

i am a ballet dancer so i probably would have a biast i wouldnt rate any sport the only hardest sport in the world but it is one of the hardest sports along with gymnastics and a couple of other things .the skill techniqnique physicality flexibility and many other things needed to be to be a ballet dancer is amazing and any normal person eg the person who said ballet is not one of the hardest sports in the world would not be able to cope with the pressure it is just so hard it is also something that you have to already have the talent inside you and not just pick it up like some sports (football)
Anna Pavlova for one
It was originally designed, as all sports and most things back in the dark ages, for men only. But this is back when ballet wasn't really... "ballet." Ballet like it is now. Evolution is a natural process for anything. But ballet was originally ballroom dancing in big, heavy, clunky costumes. The shoes had heels and they were like work-boots. Over time, ballet became lighter, most graceful. Acrobatic. Gymnastic. And thus it became more of a sport for women. One that the women themselves would really be more equipped for, to excel at. It was for the boys... then it was ALL about the girls.But... the boys seem to be finding their way back in.
No one knows who made ballet. All people know are tales about who created ballet. All that most people know is that it was invented a long time ago.
Most ballet dancers are young, in their teens or twenties. There are some older ballet dancers, but ive never heard of one past their thirties. There is no set "retirement age"
