Did ballet choose me?

To be honest, I never chose ballet. It was my mom who chose ballet for me. If my sister didn't stop dancing ballet, them maybe I would just be a lame kid who sucks at dancing lol. Let's just say I was happy that my sister stopped *yes you can call me a bad sister lol*

Anyways, there were a lot of decision-making that happened in my life and in every decision that I make, ballet is always an option. Guess what? I always choose ballet but I don't know why I chose it. I had all the chances to stop dancing ballet but I never took those chances.

People usually asks me what do I follow more, my heart or my brain. I answer them, "I do not know." Why? My brain and heart works together and tells me "DO BALLET, don't worry everything's gonna be fine." After the advice that my brain and heart told me, I go for ballet.

BUT WAIT! I DID NOT CHOOSE BALLET!!! BUT BALLET CHOSE ME.

If ballet didn't choose me, I wouldn't force myself to dance like a freak because I am not meant for ballet but no, I dance gracefully because ballet chose me and told me never stop dancing.

What Is Ballet?

Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissancecourts of the 15th century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many other dance genres.

Ballet may also refer to a ballet dance work, which consists of the choreography and music for a ballet production. Ballet dance works are choreographed and performed by trained artists. It is only done by dancers who have had special training. The dancers are employed by a dance company, and they perform in theatres. Ballet involves the creation of the dance itself, often a type of imaginary story. The story is told with the help of dance and mime. The creation of dance is called choreography. The choreography is learnt by the dancers under the supervision of a trainer, called a ballet master or mistress. Ballet is always performed to music, and in many cases the music was specially composed for a particular ballet. Ballet is a major part of theatre, and a popular example is The Nutcracker. Ballet has been taught in ballet schools around the world, which have historically used their own cultures to evolve the art.
