Ballet Beautiful 超火芭蕾健身風潮襲捲全球!
With this transformative workout, you don’t have to be a professional ballerina in order to look like one.
在這種具顛覆性的健身運動裡,你不一定要是專家就能看起來像職業的芭蕾舞者。

 

 

   Ballet is a dance that is not only beautiful but also physically demanding. The graceful movements require a delicate balance of elegance and strength. Barre workouts, based on classical ballet training, can scare off even the fittest of the fit. They are perfect for whipping non-dancers into shape if they want the lean muscle tone of ballerinas without the intense amount of dedication.
   Former professional ballerina, Mary Helen Bowers, created her own workout method and studio, Ballet Beautiful, for this purpose. Ballet Beautiful counts actresses Liv Tyler, Zooey Deschanel, and Kirsten Dunst among its clientele. Natalie Portman trained with Bowers for her Academy Award-winning performance in the film Black Swan. She even wrote the foreword in Bowers’ book Ballet Beautiful.
   Bowers, who danced professionally for the New York City Ballet for 10 years, wanted to share the techniques of ballet beyond the professional dance world. She wanted her ballet-inspired workouts, which focus on the muscles that give dancers their elegant figure, to be accessible to all kinds of people. Ballet Beautiful has shown that the principles of ballet fitness can be used by anyone who wants to look and feel as graceful as a prima ballerina.

   芭蕾是種優美卻也耗費體力的舞蹈。優雅的動作需要優美與力道之間的微妙平衡。芭蕾健身以古典芭蕾訓練為基礎,甚至可以嚇跑體能最好的人。芭蕾健身是任何想要擁有芭蕾舞者精實的肌肉、卻又不想要投入高強度訓練的非專業舞者的絕佳選擇。
   前職業芭蕾舞者瑪莉•海倫•?爾斯,為了上述目的創辦了她個人的一套健身方式和一間名為「美麗芭蕾」的舞蹈工作室。「美麗芭蕾」旗下的客戶有女演員麗芙•泰勒、柔伊•黛絲香奈及克莉絲汀•鄧斯特等。娜塔莉•波曼曾為她榮獲奧斯卡金像獎的電影《黑天鵝》接受過?爾斯的特訓。她甚至曾為?爾斯出的書《美麗芭蕾》寫序。
   在紐約市立芭蕾舞團跳了十年職業芭蕾的?爾斯想分享芭蕾技藝給職業芭蕾圈之外的人們。她希望著重雕塑舞者肌肉、以展現其優美曲線的芭蕾健身能讓各界人士採用。「美麗芭蕾」已證明芭蕾健身能適用於任何想看起來及散發出和首席芭蕾舞伶一樣優雅的人。
