Many think of ballet as a beautiful fantasy reserved for little girls or the physically gifted, but ballet technique offers amazing benefits that can lift your fitness level to new heights, regardless of your age.

1. Posture

Beyond looking taller, healthier, stronger and even slimmer, standing up straight increases mental awareness and communicates confidence as well as authority. And who doesn’t need an antidote to all that slumping over computers, tablets, or smart phones? Ballet builds incredible posture that makes you look and feel fantastic! Wether you are able to join us at the studio or prefer to exercise online we have many effective techniques to advance your posture, see more details here.

2. Beauty

Ballet Body Sculpture fuses fitness with a concept of beauty and elegance, rather than brute force. The result creates a nurturing approach to the body, gaining results through extensive professional knowledge and removing the masochism from fitness. The exquisite music and movements of ballet go beyond merely “feeling the burn” to show how beauty can be a far greater force of transformation and motivation, than a “pain equals gain” fitness ethos. Ballet Body Sculpture class experience lets you to experience beauty and enjoy your workout.

3. Mind Body Connection

Ballet makes you go deep inside to feel every muscle. The connection with the music and emphasis on details, takes all your focus to yourself for the time being, creating a conscious connection, training your mind to stay present and taking your thoughts away from planning dinner or worrying about work. Ballet brings you into your body in a nuanced way, developing wonderful body awareness and focus. 

4. Musical Inspiration

Ballet music is different from any other exercise classes. Studies show that listening to classical music has many of the same benefits attributed to meditation, including increased relaxation, mental alertness, creativity and problem solving ability. Listening to beautiful music adds a unique dimension to your workout that can really awaken to inspire you!

5. Endless Variety

With hundreds of steps and an infinite possibility of combinations, ballet is never boring for the body or the brain. The many types of ballet movements continually challenge and build a versatile physique and agile mind. You never really do the same plié twice. As you become familiar with the technique, ballet helps you discover muscles you never knew existed! Once you start mastering some aspect of the technique, another layer of the movement opens up and provides a new level of physical and mental challenge. Ballet always gives you more to learn, practice and enjoy! And with every effort you also become more educated in one of the most respected dance forms in the world.
