When you think about ballet, the first thing that might come to mind is beauty, grace, and maybe a tutu. While ballet is all of that, it’s also a sport that requires incredible amounts of endurance and both physical and mental strength.
“In being a ballet dancer, there are mental things involved, like connecting to your muscles. It’s having to pay attention to every bit of your muscle, and still have to perform at the same time,” says ballet dancer Deidre Sears, founder and artistic director at Elevé Dance Theater. “The most important thing is your core. If your core isn’t strong, it’s very difficult to do anything else.”
