The Benefits of Ballet
In the past two decades, dance has enjoyed a resurgence of interest as both a medium of artistic expression and exercise modality for the general public.
While many adults still choose yoga or Pilates nowadays to balance out the long hours of sedentary life, more and more choose ballet for its high "fun factor." But what's really attracting those to the ballet studio? Apparently, ballet is a total body workout and a form of artistic expression that requires both discipline and focus. It promotes creative expression, and indeed brings with it tremendous benefits in terms of health and emotional well-being. Simply said, ballet is "therapeutic" for both mind and body.
