Why do people think ballet is so easy?

Question

it aint easy im a dancer (ballet,tap,jazz,hip hop,breakdancing,and modern.

Answer 1

I have three reasons:

1.  Ballet is very beautiful.

2. The dancers look so fragile and thin (though they are so not)

3.  The stereotypical pink frills we see way too often via the media and childhood toys.

Answer 2

All of us don't think that way !,good luck

Answer 3

The people who think its easy are the ones who don't do it. They watch us do it and we make it LOOK easy. But they don't realize how hard we work to make it appear that way.

I admire all ballet dancers and take it as a compliment when people say it looks easy. I especially love when the people who say it looks easy come to take lessons at our studio and then realize for themselves how hard it really is. ; )

Answer 4

people think ballet is easy because its suppose to look easy. A good ballet dancer is one who dances beautifuly and makes it look soooo simple like anyone can you it, But really it takes alot of practice and hardwork.

Answer 5

I think that people dont take ballet seriously. Maybe it could be a compliment because they recognice the way the dancers move-very flawless and carefree like their not even trying. And you have to be good to be able to to that! If the people acctually try ballet and step into their toe shoes (pun intended) they will notice all the hard work we put in to it. Espessially the bloody bruised toes and feet!!

Answer 6

Because ballerinas are taught to make it look easy

Answer 7

people dont take ballet really seriously and tend to make fun of the movements /:

ballet isn't easy at all. it takes alot of muscle, body control and mental discipline in ballet. if people think its so easy i would like to see them do a simple combination at the bar. they probably couldn't even do that.

Answer 8

I dunno, but it makes me mad :) It should be considered a sport, because it's just as hard as football, basketball, or any other physical activity. You get so in shape and flexible when you take ballet. I hate when people think it's easy, because it sure as heck isn't!

Answer 9

i think its because the moves are graceful and they are perfected makeing it very flowy and it doesnt look hard at all but let me tell you ...it is
