Question:
Ok dancers, let's be realistic. Isn't Ballet just another skill??
I mean. Think of it this way: You go to Germany without knowing a word of German (and never having learned another language in your life). Once you go there and take a few German lessons and stuff, you becomes such a wiz at German that you can say anything with great profession.
How this relates to Ballet: Once you get your legs all stretched out, and your ankles and hips good and strong, isn't Ballet just another skill that you don't need a gazillion years of training to be good at?
I knew a guy who learned to read for the first time when he was 90. And all those people on Dancing With The Stars learn how to dance at a professional level in only.. what.. a few months (I've never really watched the series.. i have a class when it comes on)?
I can tell that Ballet is trickier than it looks, but does it really require so many years of experiance? I know companies only accept "the best" and stuff. Do companies even look at those who HAVEN'T been in training since birth?

I have taken a Ballet class THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It was an average adult beginners class and I didn't find it to be that difficult (it was really fun). Please don't judge me. I was not at all saying that Ballet is simple! I do know that it is somethign that cannot be learned in one day! sheesh!
