Lovely stuff - watch it and enjoy the music and the skill it takes to move like that. Ballet is the art of forcing the human body into grotesque positions it has no business in. (Yeah, I used to date a dancer.) This show, done right, is a dance with the audience in it.

I wouldn't recommend delving too deeply into the plot. It's a little unsettling. Just my opinion. Merry Christmas, all!

Call me neandtheral but I will never get ballet.

The human body has no business doing football or boxing either, but here we are. I don’t get ballet the way my wife does (she was a soloist for a regional company and was offered a contract by National Ballet of Canada), but I can certainly respect it as an art form in which excellence demands sacrifices.
