Ballet not only teaches us etiquette and prepares our tiny dancers to grow into beautiful ballerinas, it also teaches discipline and gives girls a good workout routine. Many fitness centers, with the success of Black Swan, have started offering ballet-inspired fitness classes. Mary Helen Bowers, Natalie Portman's trainer, taught Ballet Beautiful for two years before the movie brought her into the spotlight. B.fit, a fitness center in DC, offers b.fit barre as a ballet/pilates hybrid workout. Ballet-based workouts promote a lenthened, lean body, as opposed to pure muscle building. Our young dancers are already learning the proper exercises so in the future, whether or not they continue with ballet, they can maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise!
