Can there is perfection without pain for these who are successful in the world of dance?
Achieving excellence depends to many different things, including physique and luck.
Therefore,it is indisputable that those who dance professionally also must follow a rigourous
training regime, combining this with complete dedication to their art – and this can certainly
be painful. Dancers have to be like endurance athletes,but they also have to combine fitness
with elegance and musicality. It’s said that given a professional dance performance is similar
to play a football game,as dancers have to combine periods of sustained activity with short
bursts of explosive energy, while also able to recover quickly. In the past, dancers trained the
most by going through reptitive routines. But, in the morden world, with its high standards of
fitness, they use additional techniques such as gym routines to gain muscle strength and
stamina. Their ultimate aim is perfection.
