some guys in my school told me that ballet is easy and boring, so I showed them some simple moves and when they tried to do them they fell 😂

When one dances, one must have the stamina for the body to keep up, and the grace for the body to move to rhythm, so yes, ballet is both an art and an exercise. Plus ballet instructors are awfully strict.

Priscilla Morales they were merely doing this as something to try and experience, not something to do seriously on a regular basis so corrections will be quite useless. Besides, first time students are given leeway to adjust, memorize, and get used to the moves on their own, corrections only happens much later, like possibly a couple of days into the class because if a teacher corrects them on the very first day, those particular corrections won't even be remembered by the student and if the teacher keeps on correcting the student from the very beginning then they will be spending majority of the class doing corrections rather than doing a full class. I would know, I'm a ballet student as well as a teacher.

why
The cross fitters don't have the stamina or flexibility to dance and the ballet dancers wouldn't have the strength or stamina to make it through a cross fit workout. It's two completely different sports and I hate when people make it seem like their sport is the hardest and no one else can do it... well no shit they have a totally different set of skills. It doesn't mean they are weak or not athletic it just means they aren't trained in your particular sport. Ballet is hard. Cross fit is hard. Sports are hard and provide tons of different challenges that not everyone is going to be good at.

Dancers are some of the strongest athletes in the world, and they have rehearsals and performances that are hours long. Yes there are different skill sets needed for each sport, but dancers definitely have both strength and stamina
@michaelaleach8195

Janice Jacobs of Im not saying dancing isn't extremely challenging, it requires an incredible amount of fine muscle control, strength and stamina. HOWEVER there is a difference between dancer strong and cross fit strong. Neither one is more superior or inferior they are totally different. The type of muscle control and sheer strength it takes to to a hang clean or a dead lift and then go run 2 miles is completely different from a what kind of strength is required of a ballet dancer to make it through a class or a show. It's apples and oranges. A cross fit athlete could probably get through a difficult day of dance classes but not well, and not without being sore. A dancer in decent shape would probably make it through a cross fit workout but probably with less reps and much lower weight. Also the desired body types are polar opposites. Cross fit is short, stalky and as dense as possible. Dancers are supposed to be light, tallish, slender and lean. I wouldn't expect a dancer to be able to lift anything super heavy because it's not beneficial to their sport, or expect a cross fit athlete to have good turn out and be extra flexible.

Selina Warrington the majority of professional or higher trained dancers do so for many reasons. It creates a longer line, better for partnering, easier to take off for another style of dance, to name a few. It also shows they are higher up in training as leo on the outside looks more childish. Mostly though, its just more comfortable.

Respect for Ballet dancers. I am a dancer myself, i do ballet a little ( i am mainly a jazz and contemporary dancer ) and ballet is so beautiful. Ballet dancers deserve more credit.

My dance instructor calls getting up from a sitting position using your hands an “old lady move”. We spent nearly 40 minutes just standing up and sitting down, and my legs were aching by the time we were done! It’s weird how much we rely on our arm strength for something that really has nothing to do with our arms.
I can't see how it was ever a question that ballet dancers (all dancers) are fantastic athletics. Their muscle tone is off the charts and they are damn near flying around in the air. I've always had immense respect for ballet dancers.
I'm actually impressed that they decided to give it a shot. For me, if I know I'm not going to be the best at something, I usually dont do it. This inspired me.
LOVE this :)
1:28 is the best part Also why did this pop up in my suggested 2 years later?
I've tried ballet, but couldn't get my feet to turn out correctly without making my hips feel like they were dislocating. I am in AWE of ballet dancers. Good on these blokes for giving it a sincere effort.
As someone who has danced, and adored, ballet for a number of years, I admire what they are doing- even though this was just under two minutes of internal screaming! ;-) The rule with ballet is that if it isn't hurting, you're not doing it correctly. Doing ballet well, you can work up a serious sweat and get your heart pumping, whilst standing completely still at the barre.
No one saw the bird at 1:30??😂😂😂
My teacher would kill me if i ever danced without my hair up in a bun
My favourite part is the bird flying past the window at 1:29 while they slo mo the guys turning... well played videographer, well played.
I love this!! Ballerinas are hardcore and I seriously respect them sooo much 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼they make it look so effortless, but you know they’ve spent years and years training their bodies to get to that point
