They get that physique BECAUSE they start when they are like 3. U have to dedicate ur whole life to ballet starting from childhood if u want to do it on a pro level and u will almost always have to retire early (like in ur mid 30s) Â bc u get a lot of physical problems from it like ur knees will get fucked, ur neck will get fucked, ur feet will get fucked its just a matter of time before the strain on ur body fucks u over
u cant change ur genetically disposed physique though, if u gain muscle easily and have a naturally high lean body mass there isnt much u can do about it, and ur not gonna get far in ballet i imagine
Yep pretty much. Ur teachers will be telling u to restrict ur food intake or lose weight or watch ur weight etc but if u just cant get ur body to fit the standard u wont go far in ur career if ur shooting for a career in classical ballet like the “prima ballerinas” of the big ballet houses. Its brutal as fuck. But if u choose more modern, contemporary, alternative ballet its much more diverseÂ
contemporary ballet cant have much of an online presence because i never hear about it, most of the balerinas ive seen on youtube have been the cookie cutter lanky ballerina
