If you practice ballet long enough, you will easily be able to do the splits. Along with balance and grace, strength and flexibility are required to perform ballet with an acceptable level of proficiency. It's much harder than it appears.

Yeah, I would think so. If you're just starting out, you might want to take some time practicing so that you won't hurt yourself. because people who do ballet seem really flexible and limber.
It's best if you can because you can be more flexable and graceful, but there are other things that you can practice. Stretches are very good for ballet and dancing. It is best if you listen and flow along to the music...get it? OK.
