Ballet is the founding discipline of dance. Dancers are trained to be strong and precise by performing exercises at the barre and in center floor. There is a repetitive nature to a ballet class which allows dancers to perfect their technique. Ballet is an extremely important discipline for anyone who chooses to dance because all other dance techniques are drawn from it.
