I Can’t Dance, So I Photograph Ballerinas Instead

ADVERTISEMENT

I loved ballet since I was a little girl.

As long as I can remember, I have abandoned my new Disney cassettes whenever there was Swan Lake on TV. I always wished I could move like that (well, didn’t we all?) But, I had two left feet and no decent dancing studio in my city, so ballet had to remain a dream.

It always mesmerized me how the dancers can concentrate with thousands of eyes tracking their every move. And then I got it, there’s a trick about ballet. There’s so much going on, that you really need to know where to look in order to see something.

So I took a dancer off the stage and illustrated the “Dance, like noone is watching” in the glasshouse jungle.

Because in the end, nobody is watching. Nobody knows where to look.

Beautiful work! I had 9 years of ballet , & , it's very hard work to look so graceful. You put up with callouses , sore muscles , & , foot injuries. It instills a lifetime of discipline, agility that leads to better than average balance , & legs that are strong enough for many activities . Mine was figure skating .

thanks Nancy! I can't even imagine how much determination and self discipline (aside from physical effort) it takes! But, the dancers make it look so easy and effortless when they're flying across the stage!
