 |

Hello,
Which verb or verbs can be used with "ballet"?
Do you say that someone does, dances or performs ballet? Are there better or more common verbs?
Thank you. |

I personally use the following
- I am performing ballet...
Because a performance is someone acting, dancing or entertaining certain people. That's probably the safest approach.
"I am dancing ballet" doesn't seem right as everyone knows ballet is a dance, and its like saying "I am dancing a dance."
Your best bet would be "performing"
Sorry if i have confused you...  |
