Ballet is Life...

Picture
    Beyond the centuries   beyond the enduring beauty of the art   beyond the dancers  their dedication  their sweat  and fears   beyond the bricks  the mortar  the theater  its lights  its trodden boards  its busy seats   beyond the sharps the flats  the allegro  the andante   beyond all that  the moment which holds you  yes you  weightless like a dancer yourself  unchained from gravity  released from time  we are the

Ballet is more than just a type of dance. You make graceful movements with the music, which makes it a type of dance but ballet is more than just movements. Ballet is more than a sport, for sports are a game that can be played against an opponet.  Though you are competing against the laws of nature by making your body do the things it isn't normally made to do, but ballet is still more. Ballet is a art, it is an art that you make with the lines of  your body. You make a picture for your audience to enjoy. Ballet is also hard work,  you have to pretend that it is easy and that anybody can do it and that it's no big deal. The audience will apreciate the art and grace but only you the dancer knows the pain, sweat and hard work that had to go into makeing a performance a performance. Ballet is everything, it is happy, sad, hot, cold, left, right, up, down, night, day, summer, winter, fall, spring, and everything in between because ballet is life.
