What don’t people realize about the job of ballet dancer?
I always have laundry because of dance because I go through so many clothes. I feel like part of my job is hauling around sweaty clothes. Part of your work as a ballet dancer is to have clean clothes so you won’t be stinky and rude around your fellow dancers. If people were to see you on a race track with your car . . . They would only see the back of my head because I would be going so fast . . . they probably wouldn’t peg you as a person who likes ballet. What would you say to them? Stereotypes kill society, they kill human emotion. You cannot make an opinion about something unless you’ve been there. Don’t judge anything until you’ve tried it. Ballet is one of the most beautiful art forms. It’s an art form that is always growing and pushing to new levels. Come try the ballet. You might like it. And if you don’t, then you’ve learned something, you haven’t lost anything.
