Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.

I have always done exercise because I was a dancer, and it is probably good for you. I have done yoga consistently.

Ballet Beautiful is really good for me, and it doesn't hurt my back, and it's a way for me to kind of get my heart moving and tone every part of my body.

I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.

I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period.

I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don't have the discipline to go to the gym.

Ballet can be grueling, for sure, but it gives you a certain discipline.

I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.

Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.

In terms of withstanding incredible amounts of pain - both physical and emotional - I don't think there's any better training than ballet.
