Training
Ballet training places great emphasis on ballet technique because precise technique is an essential element of the aesthetics of ballet performance. It is instilled in ballet students from a young age, both to develop the desired aesthetics and to prevent injury. For example, students are taught to avoid sickling of the foot, which is an undesirable aesthetic and can cause ankle injuries when performing en pointe.
