I've been a dancer for the past 13 years. It's the only thing that gets me through the day, as soon as I get home from school I do my homework, and then go to dance class at 4:30 until 9:30 every night. Ballet isn't all that hard unless you're on pointe. It's still not that hard once you get used to it, but it sure does hurt. I can't stand people who think we're not athletes. We probably work harder and dedicate ourselves to dance more than any other athlete does with their sport. All I do is dance, it's 100% my life. Most people in sports play multiple so they don't put their entire heart and soul into one specifically. Ballet/Pointe is simply amazing.
