Question

a. According to the text, when it comes to physical appearance, Ingrid Silva does not fit the stereotype of a typical ballerina. What characteristics do you consider really important in order to become a successful ballerina? Why?​

Answer 1

Although some people might consider the "ideal ballerina" as someone skinny and pretty, that is not it. A successful ballerina would be someone hardworking, disciplined, dreamy, flexible, perfectionist, always looking for your best, compromised with everything that involves being a ballerina and passionate about it, because with discipline and love, anyone can achieve your own goals and it won't be the worst thing in the world. Perfectionist and compromised because "practice makes perfect". Flexible because it is a basic characteristic for ballet and dreamy because you need dreams to have goals, right? The dream of becoming a successful ballerina + the characteristics I said before will determine the future of Ingrid Silva.

Answer 2

in my honest view a ballerine should have the capacity to do everything that is required for her to do, thus i don't think that her physical appearance should be a factor of importance here, regarding that she can do all those moves necessary her body type
is unimportant! so i think that everyone who wants to be a ballerina should train hard and reharse as much as possible in order to be excelent in anything that
you are doing
