Main idea

Ballet dancers make dancing on their toes look easy. They do this by training for many hours each day. They must constantly practice to learn the difficult moves they make, and exercise to keep themselves in shape. While many dancers are good, only the most disciplined and talented dancers perform onstage as professionals.

• Ballet dancers are in good physical shape.

• Ballet dancers train very hard every day.

• Most ballet dancers are processionals.
