- Every child from the age of three, in my opinion,should do gymnastics. And from the age of six or seven, when he already has basic skills, you can instill a sport to which he is predisposed. The main thing is that it is not the baby's mother who wants to do it, realizing her unfulfilled dreams, but the baby himself.A photo: Getty Images As for ballet, this work is not only external, but also internal. This discipline produces not only a beautiful posture and gait, but also gracefulness, character. As such, there are no contraindications to ballet. On the contrary, it is useful to everyone. All exercises are based on stretching the body, muscles, joints, as a result of which it is possible to correct the curvature of the spine, and flat feet, and other diseases.

Choose a ballet school

There are many ballet schools in Moscow now, but notall of them deserve attention. I advise parents to pay attention to the teaching staff. The children should be taught by professionals, not amateurs. Otherwise, you can get injured and forever discourage a boy or girl from dancing. It is quite difficult to teach small children. You must always hold their attention, conduct lessons in the form of a game, try to pay individual attention to each one. The main task of the teacher is to involve the child in the process, and then lead him, passing on his knowledge. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that all children who attend ballet lessons eventually become artists of the Bolshoi Theater. Even if they do not study professionally later, the classes will be very useful for them. This will simply affect their appearance. As they say, you can’t hide a beautiful posture!

What do you need to know the future ballet dancer?

If a child decides to become a big artiststage, then you need to warn him in advance that he will not have a childhood as such. You need to devote yourself entirely to training. If you compare two groups of children, some of whom are engaged for fun, and others professionally, then these are two different approaches. I can say this from my own experience. Although I do not complain, I always liked to develop in the direction that I chose. At the same time, in addition to ballet, I also had acrobatics and modern dance. That is, there was almost no free time left: every day from 10:00 to 19:00 I studied at the ballet academy, from 19:00 to 20:00 I had acrobatics, and from 20:00 to 22:00 - modern dance.Photo: Getty Images

Myths about ballet

Stories about what ballet dancers always havecalluses on the feet, are not quite true. I have seen photos of ballerinas' bloody feet circulating on the Internet - yes, this can really happen, but it is rare. Apparently, the editors collected the most horrific photos and posted them online under the title "Everyday life of ballet dancers." No, our everyday life is not quite like that. Of course, you have to work a lot, injuries happen often, but they mainly occur due to inattention and fatigue. If you give your muscles a rest, then everything will be fine. Some people are also sure that ballet dancers do not eat anything or are on strict diets. This is absolutely not true! We eat everything and do not limit ourselves in anything. Of course, we do not eat our fill before training or concerts, otherwise it is difficult to dance. There are many myths about certain proportions of ballet dancers. If you are not tall, for example, then you will not be a professional. I can say that height does not matter much. Ballet accepts girls and boys up to 180 cm. It's just that the taller a person is, the harder it is to control their body. Although tall dancers look more aesthetically pleasing on stage. That's a fact.

Ballet for parents

There is an opinion that every woman sees ina ballerina, so many want to realize their childhood dream at a conscious age. It's good that body ballet has become quite popular in Russia now. Girls often prefer it to fitness training. And that's right. Ballet is a long work that can work out all the muscles and bring the body to perfection, give it plasticity and lightness. By the way, in America, not only women under 45, like us, go to ballet classes, but also grandparents over 80! They are sure that it prolongs their youth. And, probably, it is.
