Ballet Technique

Ballet technique is a highly structured form of dance characterized by specific movements, positions, and postures that emphasize grace, precision, and control. Key elements include the five basic foot positions, proper alignment, and the use of turnout (rotation of the legs). Dancers develop strength, flexibility, and balance through practice of techniques such as pliés, tendus, and jetés. Training often begins at an early age and involves rigorous practice to master the intricate movements and choreography, which convey emotion and storytelling through dance. Proper technique is essential for both performance quality and injury prevention.
