I wish the author could actually do a shred of research. This is a PROFESSIONAL ballet school, not a local ballet school where you take a short class every week or so and put on a frilly skirt.
A little disclaimer: if you want to be a professional ballet dancer, then do so! I can't stop you from trying, and if you want to then nothing's stopping you from at least trying, I hope.
Now on to the ranty part.
Competition is more fierce than in most jobs. People train for their entire lives, starting as little children. Even they don't get chances. The best end up in ... Corps de Ballet, the extra characters dancing the insignificant roles. The best of the best are dancing solos.
Acting sounds like it's a rarity in this manga. It's not. Narrowing your eyes and putting on a "menacing" smile is not acting. Acting is a requirement for ballet. Given that ballet tells stories on stage, acting is kind of important.
I cut out lots of this, since it's just pointless ranting about apparent problems, such as Kaname starting ballet incredibly late and being placed with people who danced their entire lives. That's a one in a million kind of thing. There are many more appalling problems with this that make ballet look like a walk in the park, when it's not.
If you want a light, cute read, then this is fine. If you want a manga that teaches you about ballet, it's not for you.
