Been waiting for you to write about this. Gorgeously done as always and of course the message is so true. Ballet is like any other sport, and it's romanticization and core-ification does not do the challenges (both mental and physical) any justice.
I was nodding my head all throughout this 🙂↕️! I did ballet from kindergarden all the way up until middle school and I regret quitting everyday. The beauty of the human body has always (in my opinion) shined the brightest through the art of dance. Ballet being no exception. I fear public perception of ballet has turned away from the beauty of the performance and it's sad. I also highly agree with the romanticizing of the down-sides. It's one of the reasons I left. The constant body criticism from some of my teachers overshadowed my passion. amazing piece
Thank you so much for reading! I'm so glad my piece resonated with you and I totally agree with everything you said. I think it's time to give ballet the right recognition it deserves and not the one it's getting right now.
