Enroll Your Child In One Of The Best Ballet Schools In Ottawa

By Helen Scott


Canada's capital city, Ottawa is a hub of culture and modernity. Being one of the cleanest and safest cities in the world, with low unemployment and a high standard of living, the city is a perfect place to nurture and grow the very popular form of dance that is Ballet. There are many old and established Ballet schools in Ottawa that year after year produce excellent dancers that really contribute to the cultural richness of the city.

This dance form has been around for a very long time and is well respected throughout the global community. It is thought to have originally begun in the renaissance courts of Italy in the 15th century where it was started as a performance dance. From the 17th century on it become more focused on being a form of concert dance and gained traction in France and Russia. It has influenced other dance forms greatly and is globally adored.

In Canada this form of dance was mostly a spectator sport for Canadians, the French introduced it in the 17th century when they colonized parts of Canada but it was mostly taught to the upper classes children, those who could afford to pay the expensive private French teachers for lessons. It really took off in the 1930's where great Canadian teachers started to emerge.

These teachers originally came from overseas where they had honed their skills in places like Russia or France. For the first time there were professional dancers starting to come out of Canada. However at this time there were no dance companies in Canada yet. So the talented students that came out of Canada had to first make their names overseas. It was these students that on their returned started the great Canadian dance companies.

An interesting question to pose to ourselves is that why has this dance been so influential all over the world? One of the possible reasons for this is that it is a raw form of expression. Whether you want to express a musical piece visually, or tell an epic story through movement this dance form can do it. Another reason for its popularity could also be how it reaches across all ages and genders, all creeds and races and people find common ground in appreciating its beauty.

Dance classes in the capital city of Canada, as with everywhere else where this dance is practiced, are very strenuous. Often dancers are required to start young and go through many years of training for their minds and their bodies before they are considered professional.

The wear and tear on a dancer's body over the years can really add up as well. Because of the strenuous and almost constant exercise muscles are more likely to be damaged, not to mention the issues that come with having to stand on your toes for long periods of time. So dance schools in this area are not for the faint of heart.

Although there are challenges in the life of a dancer, many find it worth it when they can get out onto the stage and perform. If they are noticed by the right people they may find themselves swept up in the whirl wind of fame and fortune. The dancers of Canada's capital city have been feeding this whirlwind of creativity for over 85 years and show no sign of slowing down.
