I took ballet as a girl. Highly recommend. The discipline part was greatly emphasized. Multiple people have told me “I move like a deer” when I play sports. Not entirely sure what that means but I’m sure I have ballet to thank!
It means you don't slouch around like a weak fuck. I can't understand how many comments I get for sitting and standing upright like a fucking human. May I ask what ages you were involved in ballet and if you suffered any health effects?
Haha that's a funny way to put it. I can see how good posture would set you apart from others, but I wish it was more common. I think I did ballet from two to six and also from nine to ten. Nothing professional or anything. I did gymnastics between. No health effects! Never had an injury and I don't have Marfan's or anything like that.
I'd love to have my daughters do ballet when they're two. It a healthy and fun way to gain strength, control, and focus; but also fun to watch because it's just the cutest thing in the world!

Seriously, there's nothing as adorable as a line of little four-year-old ballerinas in matching tutus trying to keep up with the teacher.

Agreed! I remember at my sister’s recitals they would talk to each other on the stage to make sure they were doing it correctly.
