    Is that the view people have on ballet? My sister was even prescribed it to correct her knee issues she had as a child, and it worked wonders

      There’s casual ballet, and then there’s professional ballet, and professional ballet is very hardcore.

      As an example, the dancers wrap their feet in bandages so when their feet start bleeding, it won’t damage their shoes. When their feet bleed. Not if.

        That’s more related to the culture around big places like the bolshoi ballet than professionalism itself. Picturing ballet like that is like picturing any sport for what olympic athletes do to themselves. It’s all hardcore and damaging

      You should Google pictures of the feet of ballerinas. It’s really hardcore.
