Ballet Training

Most ballet dancers start training from a very early age, jeremi. Five or six years old. They might have an hour's lesson a week for a few years, but then do six or seven hours a week later on. By the time a dancer is professional, they still practice several hours a day. It never ends!

hmmm no a year is not enough for "just the technique". It would be enough for "just the basic technique" if you get the hang of ballet really quick. and with basic I mean BASIC. not comperable with what you see on stage. that will take you years and years of practice and sad but true, talent. now, not to discourage you if you consider to go for ballet. it is fun and you progress rapidly in the beginning so that is encouraging. and every step concored is a victory and that feels really good.

To become a proffessionall ballet dancer you probably need to start young. A few manage even though they start in their teens, but not many. But to become a good amateur balett dancer, you just need a strong spirit and a good teacher! And for any other dancer, the balett technique is a great type of excersise that wills trengthen your body and technique and helt you develope in other types of dance.

I think it must take at least 5 or 10 years to be really good with daily practice and lessons. One year is not enough!

I think that a year of training is just enough to show you how much you don't know, and how far there is to go!

I'm a dancer, I underwent 14 years of Ballet training. truthfully, it does depend on the student. technique can be taught but yet most of the time, it comes naturally. there are many things to take into consideration, turn out, point, power, grace, center, balance, form, and the list goes on. again, others are born with it, beautiful feet, naturally extended legs and soft hands. but yet, through intense training this can be learned and perfected... although, i do suggest that one must learn this at a young age. 4-6 years may go a long way though...

It depends on the individual and should really be measured in progress rather than years because everyone learns at a different rate. For most dancers, it takes much longer than a year to become proficient (at least up to their full potential). For others it doesn't take so long. Self-realization is very important, knowing where you are in your training vis a vis everyone else, where you need to improve and what steps must be taken to get where you want to go. No matter how long you've been dancing, it will likely never become easy, but like anything else, more and more possible the more you practice. Also, having a passion for it will make it come so much more easily! There are often certain streotypes about what you can and can't do if you start at a certain age... it may be harder to master something later rather than sooner, but you can do it, and the victory is so sweet! =) Best of luck to you!

for being good in ballet u need at least 5 years...!!

Hi Im Toya I dance and train aswell but not really in ballet..but ballet technique is similar to other dance styles...i dont think a year is enough to train yourself you could know the ballet moves but if youve never danced before then youd need to go training after a year but you could still use fitness training to help you with technique - as you get more flexible and practise the moves get easier so you can go on to more difficult steps..write back - are you training for ballet do you dance now or do fitness
