I would confess to joking on the sideline in a game how bad cheerleaders compare to dancers and such because of the easiness of their cheers. But as a fellow athlete I can appreciate the difficulty in whatever craft you do, whether ballet or rugby. <br />Fortunately though I myself have a huge appreciation for gymnasts because my mother used to be one, a very talented one at that. Because of her I do realize how hard being a gymnast is, doing back flips and handstands, and vaults with out any help, it seems crazy to me. I’ve always been fascinated by the amount of discipline they go through, it’s definitely up there with football. <br />Through that appreciation I could only imagine the similarities between ballet and gymnastics. I couldn't even try and balance myself on two toes or whatever it is you guys do, that stuff is intense.Santoro Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497569405936197645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830238287827541314.post-15047873608660413362009-10-29T20:03:51.700-07:002009-10-29T20:03:51.700-07:00Yes I would definitely agree with this.

But I was dead wrong! Dancing does involve building a lot of muscles and it is extremely painful. Also balance is key in dance, which I lack I'm very uncoordinated, it's a work in progress. It's worth it though I'm starting to see improvement in myself I'm getting very close to making a split! I'm so excited!!! Other than that I too think guys who play football would benefit very well in ballet, it's very good for their coordination skills.Sklarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931336177730147367noreply@blogger.com
