Ballet is gradual steady progress. While this is good for the body, it can be frustrating to those who wish to see fast results. It is not that the body suddenly responds. The body responds each time with imperceptible gains which eventually add up to a gain big enough for the person to recognize. This gentle gradual fine tuning is the healthiest way to develop physical abilities.
Ballet demands mental focusing on the task at hand.
In doing so, the mind must let go of all other thoughts. When class is over, the mind returns to the daily routine, but from a refreshed perspective. Solutions previously overlooked may jump to the forefront. Adult Ballet is different from formats used for youth. The goals are different.
