It seems we all remember being fascinated watching the Nutcracker ballet around the holidays when we were a child. Now as adults we can look at it with an appreciation for the hard work and talent of the dancers bringing out a desire to give it a shot.

If you have aspirations of giving ballet a try you should understand that there is a lot of work and practice involved. When you learn ballet you will have many technical skills to learn, which is why it is referred to as the root of all dances.

It is very important that you start correctly with the basics of ballet and not skip ahead because it will only be harder to undo the more advanced and complicated moves you have learned while jumping ahead. If you learn things wrong instead of learning the basics first the other things learned will most likely be wrong.

The best way is to learn correctly is to first start with the roots of ballet. There are all sorts of arm and foot positions that first need to be learned, or standard positions, before you move on to fancier steps such as pirouettes.

It is also really in your best interest to have a separate eye take a look at your technique. Find a teacher who you respect and trust to correct your errors in form. As hard as you look at your own dancing you may be missing some obvious errors. It is really that separate opinion that can help to heighten your technique.

One thing to keep in mind is to never expect results too quickly when working on ballet techniques, because it takes time for muscles to build up memory and also to correct techniques being done wrong. You should take your time when studying and allow your body the time it needs to adjust to any new positions. This way, you will learn correctly and improve skills.

If you decide to put your heart and soul into ballet and make a real deep down commitment then you can progress in your craft of ballet. To make improvements you will really need to stretch and apply yourself to learn this craft you have chosen, ballet.

When you were a child may have been the beginning of the dream of learning ballet but do not fool yourself into thinking it is a short time craft to learn. No matter how much you learn there will always be more which is also why it is imperative that you embrace learning ballet with all your heart and soul.
