Fragile, thin, and at the same time very strong and enduring - dancers seem almost unnatural, beautiful aliens from other planets. Grace, grace and mystery always distinguished them among other female representatives.
In this article we will tell you about the figure of the ballerina.
Weight Ballerina
Rumors of incredible tortures and strict dietary regimens for dancers have been going on for years. Of course, successful dancers follow their diet, trying to consume healthy food and not overeat. However, daily heavy workouts take away so much energy that it is useless to observe any special diet for weight loss and strictly limit yourself to calories.
Of course, the weight of professional dancers is strictly controlled - you will agree, it is difficult to flutter on stage with excess weight . Yes, and perform complex support involving a heavy ballerina would be almost unrealistic.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the norm of weight for ballet dancers was considered according to the following formula: growth in centimeters minus 110. However, in recent decades, with the arrival of higher dancers on stage, this formula has changed and now it does not take 110 but 120 from growth in centimeters.
The growth of a ballerina
Previously, during the birth of the ballet, the growth of dancers should not exceed 165 cm. The more stalwart students of ballet schools were simply excluded, even if they were very talented. However, approximately from the middle of the 20th century there was a tendency to increase the growth of dancers. Today, on the stage, you can meet a ballerina with a height of 170 and even 175 centimeters, although girls of short stature in the ballet are still more.
Of course, the ballerina's parameters are not an indicator of skill or talent. However, it is the proportions of height and weight, the "translucence" of dancers and their lightness that make it possible to create miracles on stage - when an elegant dancer suddenly turns into a fragile swan.
