What happens in Company Class?

Did you know that professional ballet dancers take class almost every day during the performance season?  They get one or two days off each week, but generally speaking they spend their days in class, as well as rehearsing for parts and also giving evening performances.  The average ballet dancer trains for about six hours a day, six days a week.  They may also do other exercise regimens, such as yoga, Pilates or weightlifting.  They're constantly working on perfecting their art, technique and strength.
