it's not like they can help being skinny. try dancing strenuously for 8 hours a day, for pretty much your entire childhood up till young adulthood, and see if you're still going to be fat and jiggly. their entire bodies are muscle, it's not like a weak bag of bones..
i dont get it when people say ballerinas are too thin, their muscles are just stretched super long, not bulky like runners and gymnists, and any ballet dancer, company dancers, not any girl in a ballet class, knows that your thin because the amount of exersise ballet really is it takes a tone of time to become a good ballet dancer many years so of course they are going to be thin and slender
@angelbaby233 it's also because being thin makes the lines look better. Ballet is all about lines. If a girl is curvy it kills the lines... so these girls are naturally thin. It tops schools like this the teachers hand pick girls who have this body type.... and if they arent they push them to be thinner...
@XxBallerina4ChristxX yeah ... I agree. Ever seen a popular solo ballet dancer on stage, who was curvy or even a little bit "female" ? That's life - you can have the passion for ballet but if you don't have the body and (way more important) the feet, your chances aren't very good ...
if anything is making them long very slim, it's the leotard design. Take a closer look & you'll see that the leotards are very elongated on the pelvic region, triangular, not rounded or square.
lets leave that to ur ballet teacher. Ive been doing pointe since 9 1/2. Im 10. Im not skinny. Im kinda over weighted but im good a ballet. xD GOING TO SOAK CITY FOR SAFTEY PATROL they r closing Soak City down for Chula Vista Saftey Patrol. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY....wat...theres more to life than just ballet but i do luv ballet..eh.
What are you talking about? Leotards that make the legs look longer are much better than ones that make your legs look stubby. As for their thin bodies, anyone who is a true ballet dancer knows that thin bodies that are healthy and strong (for females) are the preferred bodies to work with. No man wants to be damaged by lifting someone over the "proper dancers" weight and physique. These girls are talented, and instead of hating on them, congratulate them. Jealousy is just wrong.
@dinomyte86 you're right, that's the kind of body dance companies hire! and as you said, they look for 'healthy' and strong dancers. so even if those ballerinas are starving themselves, they can't keep it up for much longer because of how much exercise they do. they're just genetically gifted and very hard working.
They are good, but way to skinny. Not good. The leotards are so up high. They make the leg cut up so high and it doesnt look good on them when its so skinny. Besides that it was good.
I think the leotards look nice on their thin bodies. They make the legs look longer and show off their muscles. Besides they are not way too skinny, they are just the right size for all they dancing they do.
for their height too and probably age as well. they look pretty young. a couple of the girls i dance with have nearly the same physique and don't worry, she EATS aLOT.
and i thought leotards and thights where like...THE outfit for ballet...standard uniform?:P
and i've always noticed that most dancers in ballet are quite slim, regardless of nationality and race, they all seem quite slim, not bony thin but slim
its not fair...they have good legs :L very long and lean not to metion strong and toned. I do dancing now but need to strengthen my legs...well my quads...does anyone have any tips?
actually it's harder for asians(not being racist here)well, most asians because they're "bow-legged" instead of having straight legs their legs are somewhat bent inward after the knee. sort of like being double jointed there. so it's amazing that they can do these things.
that's not quite true. I happen to know a lot of Asians with GREAT feet. Also depends on the area of Asia you come from I believe. Anyway, these girls have great feet, it's the ballet shoes that don't show off their feet. Chinese ballet shoes aren't made with great material.... =/
Wow, just purely AMAZING!! For some reason I have an urge to madly practice my extensions. And lose weight. Does anybody know how old these girls are? Either way, it's really great :)
OMJ! I am so glad you posted this! Iv always wanted to start ballet since I was little (im 17 now) but didnt want to start on my own, i started ballet a little over 5 months ago. My gymnastics helps so much (im already quite strong), I could be working towards pointe after christmas, my only regret is that i didnt start sooner! I only have one 1hr 30mins class a week but practice alot at home!
okay apparently this topic requires a bit of explanations for some. Asians are NOT any more genetically predisposed to thinness than any another race. These girls look this way because of their discipline, and daily practice. These chinese dance academies literally requires you to practice for >6hrs/day, and you have to live and breath ballet in order to just keep your spot in the school. Having said that, how can they ever get fat.
So don't insult them because of your own insecurities.
some of u guys probably never realize the differences in "arches" between western and asian dancers. I am asian and only a few of my colleagues got high arches like most western dancers. But that doesn't mean we have no feet strength. Instead we work extra hard for it.
I have a very high arch but my feet aren't weak..So please watch with what you're steryotyping..
It depends on how you are whether a flater arch or a high arch is strong or not.Some people naturally 'over arch' and yes,it's harder to deal with, but once you learn how to control it,you can be very strong so your steryotype is very incorrect.Having an 'under arch', you deal with the same thing,so it really all depends on your personal body and how you've accustomed to it.Race has a say in it too.
mh, they are extremly flowing an have a great technique, but their feet, their arch... i don't now... maybe they've just got bad shoes, but this would be the next thing to work on ;-) lol, otherwise WOW
Yao Wei, now with Royal Danish Ballet the one on the right is Zhong-Jing Fang, now with American Ballet Theater, I don't know the name of the girl on the left.
actually the border does take away from the dancers' extensions. it's really not working there as such. but perhaps the original recording is like that. it is a fantastic and a valuable resource though. thanks for sharing
