Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations

SUMMARY

            This paper attempted to determine the different factors needed to consider ballet as a competitive sport.

            The method that was used in this study is the descriptive research method wherein the data from articles and the results of the interview are used to answer the research question posed. The research findings are the following:

1.      According to the results of the survey, one factor that can be considered is the way a ballerina and an athlete will maintain their body figure. That both of them need to maintain a body that is physically so that it would be difficult for them to perform or to play.

2.      The training that a ballerina and an athlete undergo to is also quite the same. Both of them need to physically set their body before competing or performing. Warming up before training is very essential, so that their body would not be that painful after a hard training.

3.      Ballerinas are also as competitive as the athlete because they need to show to their audience that they are exerting effort and they are passionate in what they are doing.

CONCLUSIONS

            Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions are drawn:

             1.      Ballerinas and athletes do have a lot factors in common, especially when it comes to their physical attributes.

            2.      Considering ballet as a sport can never be just that easy, of course, it still needs the willingness of the ballerinas to compete, and accept the fact that ballet is not an art alone, but a competitive sport as well that needs more hardwork and discipline.

RECOMMENDATIONS

            After drawing the conclusions of the study, the researcher hereby make the following suggestions/recommendations:

           1.      Scholars should design a research on possible future innovations in the process and citing more evident factors that can help in considering ballet as a competitive sport.
