Of course, no self-respecting, budding ballerina would seek out BB for their training. However, many of the exercises, philosophies, and methods of BB, which are based upon elementary Ballet training, could and should benefit many, many folks. I have no illusions about learning ballet at my age, but I would certainly give BB a go for my general fitness. I'd even don tights and a dance belt to boot! Can my Odette be close on the horizon?

Can my Odette be close on the horizon?

Would you like to say more about how you feel about how the barre method is insulting to professional dancers? Better yet, is there anything you'd like to say to those who aren't going to be professional dancers, but wish to use the barre method for their fitness training (the emphasis of the blog post)?

You should perhaps become more educated on dancers before making generalizations about their body types and diva attitudes. Barre method classes are insulting enough to professional dancers and now to hear these remarks? This article is inaccurate in it’s depiction of ballet dancers.
