>write "ballet" in torrent site
>90% of the results are porn

oh shut up
this board is full of raslin faggotry that's not funny anymore
at least ballet has real athleticism
come on /asp/
help me to find some sources, I am lost here
>>1265562
I think you got the wrong board, /hm/ is two blocks down
>>1265556
Fuck off fruit loop. Pretty sure /mu/ tackles dancing threads
>>1265596
Then go to /fit/ and get laughed at. Ballet is not a fucking alternative sport
>>1265600
>not a mainstream spectator sport
>self improvement is focused on over competition
Ballet belongs on this board. How many times do we have to tell you, people that actually participate in their alternative sports will always be more welcomed than the autists spouting stale memes and self-cucking to mandrama.

Ballet is not a sport
>>1267672
>it's a physical activity
>there are dedicated competitions
What else does it need to have to be a sport?
>oxford: Sport- An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment
And although "alternative sports" does not have a concrete definition, there are papers that define it as a non-mainstream activity with and emphasis on self improvement over spectating and competition.
>old /asp/ would have had a normal discussion about a relevant topic
>new /asp/ is filled with immature manchildren who do nothing but shitpost
It's not even about wrestling being the majority on the board anymore. It's wrestleposters actively ruining part of the community. You people are constantly saying the "wrestling is on topic, it's in the board name now", but alternative sports is also in the name. You guys are already here, so could you at least have the decency to not shit up the topics which belong in the board? How can you be so blind to how much of a cancer you people are?

>learning an intense sport at home with no professional instruction
Are you autistic?
>>1265543
>old enough to use a computer
>ballet
That's maybe the one type of dance it'll be incredibly hard to learn past fifteen. Look at Ido Portal stuff if you want something similar/something that could teach you the shit ballet dancers do another way.
>>1265556
That's like saying cheerleading is athletic
>>1270962
It is. Are you retarded?
>>1270975
He's baiting, just like half of this thread is.
OP is an idiot, but not for mentioning ballet.
>>1270975
>He fell for cheerleadings an athletic event meme
>>1271031
>I just want to learn the basics, that's all
The issue is that ballet is fucking hardcore even at its most basic.
You can easily hurt yourself.

music is shit, competition is empty and soulless, but you have to be fit to do this man
>>1271049
really? I thought beginning with the stuff they do with kids, I realize there are "levels" in ballet. Intermediate Level (Royal Academy of Dance) shows that is hard
>>1267695
Yeah. If TMA forms competitions are alternative sports (and they are), then ballet sure as fuck is.

Baryshnikov didn't start studying even as a hobby until he was 11 and was 16 before he got serious.
Especially if OP is male and has some strength, he can probably learn quite a bit. Some of their stretching methods are beyond terrible for your long term health, but an adult probably knows his own body well enough to avoid those.
Good luck, OP.

og /wwe/ here
I agree, this place fucking sucks unless wrestling is actually being broadcasted
sorry about your board
>>1271035
> he post a meme pic and a writes a meme about people falling for memes
>>1271670
>Some of their stretching methods are beyond terrible for your long term health
could you explain this, please?
