Everything comes with a price, says my mom. Ballet is an amazing dance from but it comes with a price. Since the ballerina have to practice around minimum of 5 hours a day to be a professional ballerina. And Being a professional ballerina require time, effort, dedication, blood, sweat, and courage to get through. Professional ballerinas dance for long hours with little food because they have to maintain their body to be skinny. This puts a huge risk on their health. I have heard stories the despite a foot injury, many professional ballerinas still chose to perform their act worrying that if they don't they might lose their position in the company.
