I've been a dancer for aggggggggges, but last christmas I decided i'd had enough, and quit (mainly becuz of the pocket money i'd recieve if i didn't go lol!) anyway, i'd been doing tap and jazz dancing for years and when it came to trying ballet, i was really good at it without trying too hard!.
however recently i've taken up gymnastics, which i also really love to do!. i don't want to quit gymnastics, either, though!. do you think i should start ballet dancing again!? :SWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's really up to you!. I would stick with gymnastics!. (I just think that's way cooler- most guys that I know would be much more impressed if you were good in gymnastics than if you were good at ballet!) I took ballet for six years, then I decided that I'd had enough!. I know I wouldn't go back (even if you paid me) But if you're good and it's your passion!.!.!. Do what feels right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If you want to, do! Ballet will help you with gymnastics!. Dance will help you with gymnastics!. They are similar in that with both you aim for strength AND flexibility, which is a combination rare in other types of physical activity!. They also help improve coordination, agility, and general fitness!. They are a good combination of activities - they with both help you improve at the other!. However, I must take issue with the person who posted that ballet causes more injuries than gymnastics - this is entirely false, and actually gymnastics causes more injuries!. However, with proper training and adequate safety measures, injuries can be almost completely avoided with both!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Ok!. First off, I find it funny that you claim you've been a dancer for agggggggggggges when in fact you are only 13!. SLOW DOWN!!! Ok!. Now, as for your dancing/gymnastics!. !. !. Ballet is the root of all things beautiful!. Great gymnasts have to take it!. Great Skaters have to take it!. Even great football players have to take it!. So that should set something off in your head that Ballet is an essential root of movement!. If you know what direction you want to take in your life, then figure out what hobby is going to be most useful to you!. Doing great things can sometimes take sacrifices!. You just have to decide!. Good Luck!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com yes all the way!. I have been dancing since i was 2, And if you keep with ballet you could get on point which i am on!. Its fun s fun!. Ballet and dance may be hard and it may get into your schedule but well i find it worth it when I teach dance class!. And when you finish your recietal and the little girls look at you!. And when you get older you will be really goodWww@QuestionHome@Com it all depends on what you love best hers what u can do make a list of pros and cons for both the one with the most cons you dont stick with the one with the most pros you stick with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com personal question!.
