To Kick_***_...BALLET IS NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am skinny because I do it! if it weren't for my burning so many calories I'd be FAT! maybe you are because you just don't wanna get up and move around because you're so lazy and you think ballet is gay! I am a girl by the way. For the person who asked this question: I think you should try some modern moves, get a modern teacher/choreographer to help you incorporate it into classical ballet.
Try something different, like a fast, funky beat, but a ballet dance, or something that keeps every one speechless, like anita did in so you thinkyou can dance. But if the music is already chosen then try putting in some of the following:
Divertissement: a short semi part of a dance that sort of have a change of music.
Port de Bras: A graceful set of arm movment often with eiver no or little leg work.
Jetes: Leaps, like Grond jetes(split leaps) and tour Jetes
i think entrechat twas are great in ballet pieces!!!
try some complex jumping phrases,, with low jetes and soubresauts and entrechats...and assembles with brushes it makes it all more interesting.
penches are always pretty ;)
try doing just an intricate motion of body directions flip from croise devant to efface or croise derrierre on the opposite side
