You know what's neat,
There is an ugly side to ballet. I don’t mean the Black Swan kind of ugly; that’s more crazed. I’m speaking of the nonstop blisters, blood bleeding through your pointe shoes, being hounded to make every move perfect, even ever finger has to be in the right place, but they put a smile on and they make it look graceful, beautiful, and unfortunately easy. Kudos ladies and gents, kudos.
