    I don’t think ballet is a sport because it’s better than that. It’s an extremely athletic and difficult art form

      I agree. It’s not gymnastics, or acrobatics.

      I think the beauty of ballet lies in the fact it combines an extremely athletic sport with artistic value though, imo ballet shows that some things can be both sport and art.

      Yes! I feel like the “ballet is a sport” thing (not talking about Eva specifically, but the general trend) is a well-intended attempt to appeal to people who don’t understand or respect ballet. I’m all about meeting people where they are, but ballet doesn’t need to be a sport- not everyone is going to appreciate it and that’s ok.

      @@samararg4507 i still disagree that ballet is a sport. One of the main characteristics of a sport is competition. I know there are pre professional ballet competitions. But the main objective of a ballet dancer is to dance with a ballet company, not just to win competitions.

    Technically perfect execution of Esmerelda variation, but in my opinion, needs more sassy interacting with the tambrine and the audience. Esmerela is all about look at me with a big portion of I'm hot and "you" know it, thrown in for good messure.

      I agree, ballet is not a sport but an athletic art form. For example, Gymnastics is more of a sport than ballet. Typically because dance isn’t considered a sport because it isn’t like all of the others. (In my opinion) Ballet shouldn’t be considered a sport because it is way more than that. It is (In my opinion) one of the most beautiful types of dance out there and should be valued as such

    Everyone in this video dances beautifully, but I particularly appreciated the photoshoot with Ophelia, she's such a talented and hardworking dancer already at a young age, and I like the way you work with them.
    Also, I just wanted to say that Heather's hair looks gorgeous!

    Non dancers will never understand the amount of strain, hard work, time and energy us ballet dancers put into our work. People say it isn't a sport because they don't dance ballet so they don't understand how hard it actually is. We make it look easy because we've been doing it since we were very tiny.

      Just because ballet is physically hard doesn't reduce it to a sport. Singing full voice for three hours over an orchestra in an opera is physically demanding, playing the trumpet is physically demanding, sculpture is physically demanding. None of those activities are sports. And neither is ballet.

    Define the terms first, please. The fact that a discipline is officially recognized as a sport, belongs to a federation, has competition circuit and is included in the Olympic list *DOES NOT* make it automatically a sport. And viceversa, of course. Chess is the best example. Were skate or climbing already a sport before being accepted at the OG? If ballet was structured like FS, RG and Artistic Swimming, would it be consisered a sport then? According to physical requirements, *YES* , according to many other skills like interpretation or musicality, it' s an *ARTSPORT*
    We just chose to live _The Theater Life_ to preserve the artistry instead of reducing it all to a score based on the amount of pirouettes and oversplit degrees *A SYSTEM WHERE, BTW, LOPATKINA WOULD BE NOBODY* 🤯. That' s exactly what has killed FS, RG and W(A)G (or should I say _Killer Extream Tumbling with background music?_ ), a sport where olympic champions are unable to straight knees and point feet.
    So, officially it' s not a sport and we don' t want it to be. _De facto_ it' s harder and way more complexe than some the official ones.

    IMO, Melanie would’ve gotten farther into the Prix de Lausanne if she performed the way she did in the first recording. It was in time, and I think one of the best performances or Esmeralda I’ve seen. 💚💚

    • @aristired6252

      Yes it is. It is highly athletic, requiring significant core strength, leg strength, coordination, flexibility, mobility, cardio, and a lot of arms for men too. You have to be incredibly athletic to perform ballet, especially at this caliber. Part of the reason people assume it’s easy is because it’s a dancer’s job is to make it look easy. Imagine running, playing football, or rowing but also not grimacing or making it look tough, it’s an insanely tall ask that dancers have to master. You should try doing ballet once or twice and see how your body feels after.
      I personally am not a dancer, I am a rower which is arguably also one of the most intense sports out there, but I have a lot of respect for ballet dancers as athletes.

      Well, in a sense it is. If you’re doing dance competitions, for instance. However, I would say that it isn’t so much a sport as an art form that is more physically demanding than many sports.
