Yes. Flexibility is absolutely essential to dancing Ballet well. It is impossible to do most of the steps in ballet without being much more flexible than the average person. A good ballet teacher makes sure to have their students do many stretches in every lesson so that their students will become more and more flexible. The more flexible a ballet dancer is, the more capable he or she is of doing the more difficult steps, such as grands ronds de jambes and penché. Flexibility can also making such steps seem easy, giving the illusion of being nearly weightless.

Can you teach yourself to dance ballet on pointe and how?
No, you really cannot! It is dangerous and you need lots of ballet experience, and an experienced and talented ballet teacher to teach you. Please do not attempt to teach yourself, even if you have gathered lots of information!
