SIt’s a shame that ballet is not considered a sport, although there are reasons for it. You have to train a lot to be among the best in the world. You need concentration, discipline, dedication, balance and physical strength.
Admittedly, there are no awards ceremonies after a ballet performance, and battle songs are rarely heard at Schwanensee. But the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, for example, one of the world’s best football strikers, worked as a ballet dancer between his engagements at Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United and cut a good figure, as you can see on the Internet.
He practiced steps with the ensemble of the national ballet of his homeland in Montevideo, and in a resulting advertising film – he wanted to help break down the dance taboo for boys – he performed an elegant pirouette.
Cavani also wore the fitting, tight-fitting clothes, delicate slippers, and his long hair was pinned in a bun. Great. What you also need to know: A ballet performance requires about as much energy as two soccer games.
