A exigência em relação ao corpo acaba fazendo parte da rotina do ballet clássico - sustentação, equilíbrio, sapatilhas de ponta – e um corpo magro é uma constante na vida do bailarino, apesar de não se terem dados científicos de que para dançar seja necessário estar magro (Simas & Guimarães, 2002).

ability (or strength) to hold legs up(high)
Fiz 12 anos de ballet. Quando se fala em sustentação, estamos falando sobre sustentação de pernas. Não tem nada a ver com postura ou posições de pés.
