Gymnastics, ballet would just about murder my toes. :(

Gymnastics, because ballet is to peaceful for me

I like ballet because I like the Artsy nature of dance more so than gymnastics. Also their is partnering :)
Both are challenging, but ballet just speaks to me more I guess.

Ballet because the gymnasts look freaky, especially the females in the OIympics.

gymnastics because they dont force you to become anorexic

Depends, gymnastics is more high energy, ballet is more focused. I love ballet. It just makes you feel graceful and poised.

Ballet because its so graceful

gymnastics.
1 because i was in it for about 4 years
also because it takes more skill and its more "ahhh" then ballet.
more cool stunts that ppl wanna see.

ballet
one they dont forse you to be anorexic
two its fun
3 it develops flexibity and grace

I don't speak english very well because I'm italian, so I hope you'll understand what I'm going to say: I love dancing, but I think gymnastics is the best sport in the world...I'm going to be a dancer, but i cried a lot when i left this sport:it was all my life!!!
so ballet and gymnastics are both fantastic for me!!!

Ballet!!
1. there is always new things to learn
2. less change of getting seriously injured.
3. there are more dance careers than gymnastics.
4. dancer bodies vs. gymnastics bodies, ballet definately wins.

Definitely ballet.
I don't have anything against gymnastics, but people here are saying that ballet forces you to become anorexic and kills your toes. Umm, first off, the anorexic part is bulls**t unless you have a tyrant for a teacher. And only pointe shoes kill your toes, yes, but if you love what you're doing enough than you shouldn't be so wimpy about it. I mean, you can sustain the same amount of injuries in gymnastics as you can ballet.

Ballet all the way!!! It's so much more graceful. It's actually harde than gymnastics too. I've taken both and i work harder in ballet than in gymnastics. You have to work harder because it tkaes control to be graceful adn you don't have to be that graceful in gymnastics, at least not as much in ballet. Plus, gymnastics makes the muscle in the front of your thigh (the name is slipping from my mind at the moment, sorry) look really big, while ballet tones the inner thighs which isn't as not-so-great looking. so ballet is better!

Ballet becoz its my passion!!!

BALLET- hymnastics is too much tricks and no dancing.

Both...I'm an ex gymnast...and starting to become a dancer now...I would never deny my past...but dance is all my life now! :)

i do ballet and acro acro is like the floor stuff in gymnastics.

i like them both. try both and then pick one its totally up to you.
