Work in Ballet Class

I think "work" in a ballet class is different for everyone. Everyone has their own weaknesses and stregnths and everyone must work harder on different individual aspects of the dance form. For example one person might have problems when doing petit allegro so they must work harder during that part of class. Where as another student may have problems following the tempo of the music so they must concentrate their efforts on that aspect of the class. Bottom line is that everyone must work hard in class. I also believe that in order to be a hard worker in class one must also work hard out side of class. There is not enough time in a single ballet class to work on everything that a ballet student must work on. Therefore they must have the discipline and the willingness to work outside of class as well. What I mean by this is that they must stretch outside of class in order to improbe flexibility, they must do exercises to improve their muscilarity and endurance, they also should practice combos out side of class that they were having problems with during class, etc. Working hard in a ballet class also takes hard work outside of the class. The ability to work hard is a life style and therefore effects all facets of ones life, including other dance forms.
