Why Boys Ballet London?
Ballet Classes for Boys & Young Men....
Boys ballet dancing is not an easy sporting option, in fact many well-known sportsmen; rugby players, ice skaters, fencers and martial arts fighters take Ballet classes in order to improve their strength and performance.
See Image showing Martial Arts expert Jean-Claude Van Damme who studied classical Ballet for five years to help his strength and flexibility training.
Male ballet dancers have to be strong and athletic - they generally play masculine and lead parts of Princes, Soldiers and Pirates. Their strength is clearly demonstrated in lifts and jumps and they have strong stage presence when performing.....need we say it...Ballet is NOT just for girls!
Not every boy wants to be a Ballet dancer, but for those that do...Ballet can be very rewarding! The demand for male dancers at prestigous full time dance colleges is always high and boys that choose Ballet over other traditional male sports have a far better chance of high achievements in their dancing career.
