One of the most stereotyped values of ballet is the one of its body. Have you ever seen a company of fat or non flexible ballet dancers? In general terms, ballet praises a body which is thin, extremely flexible, strong, agile, delicate and with extreme harmonic proportions. By this, ballet is also sustaining and eulogizing the process needed to obtain that type of body, which implies huge sacrifices, enormous discipline, submission and reduction of the rest of the dancer’s life activities, among many other things.
Another common value found in ballet is the pyramidal form of its social organization. In aesthetical terms, this is readable in the choreographic format of the group with a soloist. The exaltation of soloists ('prima ballerinas' or 'étoiles'...), which are 'better' than the rest of the group, sustains a type of social organization in which people are not seen as equal and some of them have privileges.
