" --------------------- Due to being a naturally kinesthetic person I find ballet an inward self-discipline as well, this time around with ballet I gave up the balletmaster-drill sargent approach. Had that the first time around when I was younger; it didnt bring out the best in me and classes got real old (after about 4 years of listening to the instructor correct all the students in the class; it took me those years of training to realize there is no wrong movement in ballet, just poor positioning or execution...then I started gymnastics, talk about regimented)....(however, some of that poor positioning is correct in modern dance, sometimes poor execution can be very expressive at the proper moment; so there again there is NO such thing as "a wrong movement"). This time around I found private instruction to let me analyze, investigate, and be "FREE"! (notice how I said "let me") Ballet can be really interal, egotistic, and self expressive once you get a decent repritoire of movement under your belt, and if you have a choreographer or self expressive mind. One of the great things about ballet is all the steps can transition from one to another (basically why turnout and flexibility, strength, and endurance are so important). ...just another point of view.
