Answer 1

1. What is answer 1 to your EQ? Be specific in your answer and write it like a thesis statement.
In order to perfect the role of a ballerina you must train enough so that, every step and position is perfected.
2. What possible evidence do you have to support this answer?
In my research, ballet training begins between the ages of 5-8 through a ballet school and usually become professional by age 17 or 18. They train for 6 days a week for about 5-8 hours a day. (Dancers and Choreographers, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
For an example: As you know Natalie Portman starred in the movie, Black Swan, as a ballerina dancer. She had to train with Mary Helen Bowers, a former dancer with the New York City Ballet. Mary Bowers had said she started training Natalie a year before her rehearsals started, 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. When they started filming the movie, they'd squeeze in sessions in the monring and evening on set. (Ballet Excerise: Natalie Portman's Black Swan Workout, Interview with Mary Helen Bowers)
