What a lot of people don’t know about ballet is how hard it is and how much it hurts. One of the hardest things to accomplish in ballet is to go on point shoes. Point shoes have a wooden tip and you have to go up on the point of your toes and lock your ankles. You can barely stay balanced, but when you practice a lot you can get the hold of things. You can only start using point shoes when your feet are done growing and you have years of experience; if not, you will ruin your ankles for when your older. 
Dance is very important to every culture. When you’re in the car and your favorite song comes on you immediately dance. I am lucky for being able to know and learn different types of dance. Ballet is the most difficult by far because it is strict and serious. You have to know your body and what it can do to control every movement. Every type of dance is hard, you still have to control your body but in different ways.
Barre excises include both slow exercises, which stretch and warm up muscles, and fast exercises, which help dancers strengthen muscles and maintain technique at any speed. It is very difficult and painful but it makes you a better dancer in the long run. The longer you dance the more and more you build. This means the more and more technique you learn. In whatever dance you do, ballet helps you. Ballet is the foundation of all the other dances.
I would like to thank all my dance teachers for everything they have done for me. Every since I was little I have been dancing and they have taught me so much and have seen me grow. The studio I go to is Dancers Corner. It was started by Dorren Kieth teaching in a corner of northern stage ( gymnastics studio) many years ago. Once she realized what she could do with her talent she opened up a dance studio called Dancers Corner. That just shows you, that you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
