Well, I am 11 and have lots of school work and Chinese lessons. And I don’t have time. My apartment is also tiny. But I pratice two days a week and I know that is not enough.
I'm a dancer and I can say that you not only get a dancer body dancing 6-8 hours a day, you can also try a daily training of yoga and pilates and with 2 hours/day might be enough. Plus a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and oil seeds.
@@sophiahennequin6602 there is plenty reasons it wont. 1) the intensity/volume of the exercises is not sufficient to induce lasting changes in tissue (although this depends on the version of yoga and pilates that is applied. these concepts are so wide and mixed with all sorts of other techniqes and traings that this is hard to validate) 2)given the dietary plans i ve seen and analyzed of dancers that eat diets "rich and fruit and vegetables" i know that the nutritional requirements to create significant adaptations are not given. 3)i must admit, my generalized answer was daring, yet with such a generalized proposal that was my first reaction. 4) a better reaction would ve been: pls specify the volume, intensity, and the exercises themselves, give more information on the quality and quantity of the foods etc.
Evelyn Bosma you must be right because I know nothing about ballet but Misty did talk about holding difficult poses contributed to her musculature rather than doing weights. I love the aesthetic of ballet although I am a cyclist. How do they get so strong and flexible
The strength comes firstly from the posture demanded in ballet. Look at Misty, she keeps her back straight, hips straight, shoulders aligned and tight stomach through out her plié. Do you imagine how that will strengthen your core? Try it. Then try it as if it were a regular gymn lunge. That is why most girls go through months and months of soreness when they start ballet. It's a whole new language for our bodies. Now imagine keeping your back straight, open chest, aligned shoulders and square hips while lifting your legs up to 90 degrees, or to 130 like Misty usually does. It kills you, until the moment your body gets it
Loved it! I've been practicing dancing and ballet for15 years, and I agree it's the best way to grow a strong and lean musculature! I'm also into fitness, but can't stnd squats: grand plies are much better for thighs! Squats will bulk them up and make them extremely heavy, so much better to work "en dehors" (rotating legs)!
Martina Amigoni - I do plies in my barre class and was wondering would these bulk my thighs like squats do? I’m guessing not because it is working more the inner thighs?
Patrick Rump - thanks for your reply, the thing is I think a lot depends on body type, most ballerinas are ectomorphs and naturally very thin, I would say Misty is more a Mesomorph but she isn’t carrying excess weight. I’m a curvy endomorph and so can’t really afford to bulk up, I had been doing barre classes with no weights. Some trainers say that even body weight will bulk thighs for an endomorph, a trainer named Rachel Attard says no lunges, squats, step classes, etc for endomorphs. Even when I used to do spin we would use 3 pound dumbbells and that made me get thick bulky arms, I don’t think if I was a skinny girl it would be an issue, but for some reason my body can’t take any weight, which is why I’m more careful and avoid the gym machines etc. I don’t think a lot of trainers take into account body types, but again it depends on goals too, some girls want the thick look, I’m naturally curvy, wide hips, and top heavy but have a waist, so I would prefer to keep the curves I have but lean out if makes sense? I have signed up for ballet beautiful- again the lady who teaches this is a classic ectomorph and I’m not for one minute saying I’m going to look like that, I try to work with what I’ve got, I know I need more cardio but recently injured my knee, but I think fast walking is best, swimming worked wonders for me when I was younger.
I knew a ballet teacher that taught a body sculpting class at the ymca. I loved taking her class. 2x a week. Id work out 2.5 hrs just to stick around to take it. It worked no weights.
What inspired me to look up ballet body? I'm at a ballet stance right now, leaning over the side of my bed wondering, "What would be the best exercise for me over 50"? I looked it up and ran into Misty Copeland. That's bizarre to run into someone with the same name as mine. I've always wanted to be a ballerina, and my mom couldn't afford it back then when I was a child. I can't be a ballerina at my age, but I can surely try, and do the exercises. Thank you, Misty. 😇🙏🥰💯
Yoga is the closest excersize that would give us normals a dancers body but the key is understanding alignment, extension and total muscle engagement which is how they develop such a high degree of fitness with seemingly small movements.
of course if u eat a lot of junk food and do ballet ur not going to magically have a beauty body, everything comes with a price, work for it and youll have it
Liliana Martínez bone structure and diet are key factors as well. If she has smaller bone structure, that is why her body looks so lean. Also dancing intensity and how long you dance help. When I danced, I wasn't as lean as her, but I was fit.
Misty Copeland naturally looks like that. A lot of dancers do Pilates, Yoga, weightlifting, and cardio. And watch their calories like a hawk. Misty has a fantastic, crazy, turnout that most people don’t. And beautiful, archy feet. She has everything. Sylvie Guilem was the first ballerina to have the crazy turnout, super archy feet, and crazy flexibility plus the strength to hold and balance with her leg in the highest Grande Battement ever. Now you generally aren’t major ballet company material, if you don’t have that.
Ok but like cross training, somatics, pt, pilates, massage, swimming, running, cardio, gyrotonics. These are all resources to enhance and refine and improve your ballet training. It's good to do other things, not just for your physical but for your mental as well. It's good to get out of the ballet box. Also doing different styles is good for you too. Every style enhances all the other ones. Just ballet all day every day is good, but there's more.
Iʻm a dancer, iʻm i have been dance 4 hours a day at least for the last 4 years and i DONʻT have a dancers body. This kinda makes me feel shit like if she is dancing everyday and being lean and perfect that i must just be fat and thats never going to change
I am not a dancer, i am a male swimmer, and i have to say that dancers have excellent, well proportioned and sexy bodies, just like people who practice water sports do.
What's so sad is even I've danced for 10 years and I still don't look lean and muscular. I'm tall, so that's a benefit, but it's so disappointing cause sometimes I can't do the same moves as these dancers because my tight non-flexible muscles won't allow it.
I always was get you have amazing legs , and today a guy told me you have great muscles for a girl what do you do lift weights ? and I said no “No sir’ I dance”😊
Geraldine Cenita A releve is a classical ballet term that means “raised.” The movement raises the dancer up onto the balls of the feet, making for a great calf-strengthening exercise. Outside of dance, releve is commonly practiced in Pilates and Barre.
Toes forward don't bulk the quads (fact). The arms are not heavy enough to build the shoulders (fact). Simply because this particular dancer is genetically built the way she is does not mean that a sub-maximal mean of training (ballet) can create a body like this for all! This type of generalisations stigmatise strength training for ballet dancers, an athletic art form that believes can go against physiology simply because "it was done like this many years ago".
If more ballerinas looked like her more men would be interested in ballet... ballerinas nowadays are extremely thin, in my opinion Misty's artistry, perfect technique and incredible talent proofs that excluding people who stand out from the crowd is not a winning mentality. In other words a dancer with beautiful lines, perfect and with curves deserves a chance too.
She may not have to. Since dancers body types vary,exercise routines dont necessarily come in one size fits all. Of course,I dont doubt her diet also plays a role in her look.
Leelz247 it is a common misconception that dancers are anorexic toothpics but those who are serious about their careers eat, and tend to eat a lot. my cousin is a professional ballerina and she said she eats a good 2000-2200 calories a day and is always eating - but dancers diets don't consist of bread and candy and soda. she eats a lot of lean protein like chicken and fish, lots of fruits and veggies, she eats a lot of nuts and peanut butter or almond butter because they are excellent sources of protein and are yummy. she will treat herself to a junky snack once in a while but definitely not when she is expected to perform for a show or an event because when she let's herself have that night off - she feels it the next day
Who writes things like that, apparently doesn't know about this sport. Dancers need to eat well and healthy in order to have enough energy to face an exhausting day of Training and (usually in addition to that) perfomances in the evening. They are athletes.
그녀의 몸이 결코 아름답다고 말할 수 없다. 그러나 그녀는 분명 아름다운 발레를 추고 있다. 그녀는 근육의 굴곡진 팔 등의 형태로 팔 다리가 짧고 전체적으로 작고 예뻐보인다. 흑인 무용수에게 가장 최악의 평이 될 것 같아서 작고 예뻐보인다는 그녀의 몸에 대한 평론을 못하겠다. 발레리노가 작고 예뻐보이는 여자를 좋아한다는 파드되 관객평을 듣기 쉽겠다고 느껴진다. 하체 비만이어도 백인이 발레를 하기에 가장 쉬운 점은...맞다. 그녀는 바디 프로젝트를 하고 있고 그녀는 몸에 대한 솔직한 이야기를 하자고 주장하는 것 같다. 발레리나의 몸에 대한 평가는 여지껏 없었다고 느낀다. 나는 K-발레무용수로 하체비만을 몸으로 받았다.
How to get a dancers body: dance 8-10 hours a day and you're good!!
I was thinking that, too. She dances 7-9 hours a day. Of course "just dancing" is going to make her look like that xD
Well, I am 11 and have lots of school work and Chinese lessons. And I don’t have time. My apartment is also tiny. But I pratice two days a week and I know that is not enough.

She has such a beautiful, graceful neck.
It's because ballerinas like me have to train a lot on the neck, u always wanna have a long graceful, overlooking neck

Misty started when she was 13
she is AMAZING
So true about just holding your arms up! My arms always hurt after class lol
Absolutely mind blowing
Now that’s a piece of real information xx
Superb! Thank you Misty!
So basically all i have to do is releves and grand plies....i will get right on that one
nerdalert27 you forgot tendus😁

Misty, how do you support the whole body in the toe?
A really strong core primarily.
weights won't get you bulky
Do a grand plie and thats it
😁
oh, a lot of ballerinas also starve themselves. I'm sure that helps...
and a lot of them really don't. At least not the ones who want to do this successfully over a long period of time.
