What is the most compelling/interesting thing about ballet to you?

I love that you can express yourself through it. In response to Natalia, ballet's specific rules and limitations make it more challenging, and most dancers would tell you they love that challenge. You can easily express yourself through ballet, your facial expression, the way you hold your head, how graceful you make it look, all of that and more allows you to express yourself. In short, ballet rocks!! =)

The way the body moves, it's like art-sy.

Peace and Happiness.
I have quite a few:

Just how beautiful all of the steps and dances are.

The Pointe Shoes and the amazing tutu's (I wish that it was normal to wear them everyday lol)

They way that Ballerinas perform with so much energy, even when its a Three Act Ballet.

The list can go on :)
nothing. ballet is boring. i dont need somebody telling me the specific way to move and hold my body when i dance. how can u convey and emotion when somebody is telling u how to dance? and then tell u that the way u are dancing is wrong?
The amount of discipline, control, structure the dancers carry but they also bring a great amount grace and fluidity. When a dancer is lost in the moment of dance, it's so beautiful because you can physically see someone lose themself in their ideal and dance.
The muscles you need to actually perform ballet moves and of course the way it looks so simple.
i'm not a ballerina but i do dance and at our recitals i get to see the ballet dances. i'm not a big fan of super slow dancing like ballet but it's really pretty and and the cotumes are pretty too. point is really cool as well. honestly i don't think i'd like ballet that much because it seems very slow and strict but thats just me. however, i don't mind watching it once in a while.
How absolutely beautiful it is, the incredible yet satisfying challenge, how we can push our bodies to do such things, how most people scoff at it and they wouldn't be able to last in a beginner class...
