Ballet

There is something so soft and yet so strong about a ballet dancer. They can move as if they are made of nothing, as if they can float on the air. Then you see how solid and muscular they are, and you know that you are looking at some of the greatest athletes in the world. These are photographs of dancers from the NYC ballet. I love their poses and how the shapes that their bodies create are both fluid and firm. I always wanted to be a dancer. I'm good at most types of dance, but I never had the right turnout to become a professional ballet dancer. Oh well. One of my favorite things to do, now, is draw them. I've made a really cool sculpture of a dancer.
