- Every child from the age of three, in my opinion,must engage in gymnastics. And from six to seven years, when you already have basic skills, you can inculcate sports, to which he is predisposed. The main thing is that the mother of the baby did not want to do it, realizing her unfulfilled dreams, but he 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 not allthey deserve attention. I advise parents to pay attention to the teaching staff. The child should not be dealt with by amateurs, but by professionals. Otherwise, you can get injured and permanently discourage a boy or girl from dancing. It is quite difficult to deal with young children. You must always keep their attention, conduct lessons in the form of a game, try to pay individual attention to everyone. 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 then do not study professionally, the classes will be very useful for them. This will have an elementary effect on their appearance. A beautiful posture, as they say, cannot be hidden!

What do you need to know the future ballet dancer?

If the child decides to become an artist of the big stage,then you need to warn him in advance that as such he will not have childhood. You need to devote yourself entirely to training. If we compare two groups of children, some of whom are engaged for the sake of interest, and others are professional, then these are two different approaches. This I can say for myself. Although I'm not complaining, I always liked to develop in the direction that I chose. In addition to ballet, I also had acrobatics and modern dances. That is, there was almost no free time: 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 dances.Photo: Getty Images

Myths about ballet

Stories that ballet dancers always havecalluses on the feet are not entirely true. I have seen photographs of ballerinas' bloody feet walking on the net - yes, this is true, but it is rare. Apparently, the editors collected the most horrifying photos and posted them on the network under the heading "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 mostly they arise due to inattention and fatigue. If you give your muscles 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 to anything. Of course, we don't eat enough before training or concerts, otherwise it’s hard to dance. There are many myths about certain proportions of ballet dancers. If you don't come out tall, for example, then you won't be a professional. I can say that growth doesn't really matter. Girls and boys up to 180 cm are accepted into ballet. It's just that the taller the person, the harder it is to control your body. Although tall dancers look more aesthetically pleasing on stage. It is a fact.

Ballet for parents

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