Great minds think alike - i've been meaning to feature these on my blog for ages! I love these photos - and yes I did dream of being a ballerina when I was little! ;)
Pretty, pretty pictures. As much as I love the aesthetics of ballet, I find the actual work behind the art too harsh. Pre-teen ballerinas have to be tougher - physically and emotionally - than grown footballers in order to succeed in such a competitive world. And I'm always left wondering: should I admire them or feel sorry for them?
Oh my goodness! I've never wanted to actually be a ballerina, but I think I would love everything about it except for the dancing part. The costumes are always stunning. Now I want to go backstage. I have a feeling that during a show, it's a bit busier than this, though.
Ah yes, I have always had a fascination with ballerinas, as exemplified by a very very old post: http://notsowildstylechild.blogspot.com/2008/09/nice-bod.html
ah, tutus & tulle dresses....I stayed in ballet for a few years with hopes of wearing them. I never got far enough to wear them before I quit, apparently. =(
Oh, those photos are lovely. I have always dreamt of dancing, of being a ballerina but all I got to be was a gymnast in my childhood. Great photos, the mood is very well depicted.
The pictures are gorgeous! I've always been intrigued by the shenanigans that go on backstage before the curtain rises. Good times, and fond (if fuzzy) memories.
My dream was being a stage actress rather than a ballerina. Although I love love loved Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield when I was little. I never ever got past the floor exercises and skipping stage of my ballet class though.
I sure did want to be a ballerina when I grew up, but my parents never put me in ballet lessons when i was young, so it's too late now. Every so often I'll bring it up and blame them for not letting me follow my childhood dream of being a ballerina.
