Bowe Bergdahl’s ballet teacher said today said she believes the US Army sergeant used the discipline he learned as a ballet dancer to help him survive the ordeal.
Sherry Horton, who was also Bowe’s roommate and best friend before he left to join the army, said the soldier was her ‘star’ student at Sun Valley Ballet School in his hometown of Hailey, Idaho.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline she said Bowe, now 28, was a graceful, natural performer who was ‘super strong’ and ‘flexible’ and loved to dance.
And in our exclusive photos Bowe’s dancing can be seen in full swing as he lifts a female dancer in the air to complete a string of impressive ballet moves.
Bowe’s love of ballet goes against the grain for most rough-tough US Army sergeants, but then Bowe was not your conventional soldier.
He also studied religion extensively dabbling in Buddhism and tarot-card reading.
He had sailed across the Atlantic by his late teens, fished in Alaska and practiced martial arts and sword fighting.
‘He started ballet at age 16 or 17 and was an amazing dancer, a natural talent.
‘One of my dancers was a family friend of his and he was inspired by her dedication to ballet, so he came in to see what it was all about and it all started from there.
‘He had so much natural rhythm from his martial arts and sword fighting, he was made to dance.’
‘Bowe was an expert at lifting his partners during routines,’ recalls Sherry.

EXCLUSIVE - 'Bowe was made to dance': Taliban POW's ballet teacher reveals how Bergdahl was not a typical 'rough, tough' soldier and how the moves he learned could have helped him survive his ordeal
This is an unusual article about an unusual person. I'm just posting it for comment.
this guy was a taliban ‘captive’ like peewee herman was a heavyweight boxing champion.
Consistant with the profile of a deserter and enemy sympathizer....
Maybe he can come perform for barry and reggie at the White Hut.
This guy is the perfect Obama democrat party soldier. Next, he’ll turn up as a Healthcare.gov spokesman and will go on to run for Congress from Vermont.
I’ve always defended ballet dancers as masculine men - ‘cause when they’re straight, they go through the corps de ballet like a hot knife through butter.
But these photos are making me change my mind, lol.
Bowe Bergdahl’s ballet teacher said today said she believes the US Army sergeant used the discipline he learned as a ballet dancer to help him survive the ordeal.
Sherry Horton, certified bimbo airhead, who was also Bowe’s roommate, ballet teacher, f***buddy and best friend before he left to attempt to be a man...
Yes, when I think "survival training" I think "ballet lessons."
How did he ever become a sergeant???
How brave...He needs his Tu-Tu.
Once upon a time "extensively" followed by "dabbling" would have been labeled an oxymoron. In the age of Obama, it apparently indicates great profundity on this ballerina's part.
Oh for crying out loud!!!
Just when you think this daily humiliation called the Obama Years could not get any worse!
But just in case some of you need another hit, just look at the cover of the current Time magazine.
Maybe he can run for mayor of Chicago next.
Sorry, that's as far as I could read.
Bradly Manning must have demanded his boyfriend get released.
No one forced him to join the US Army.
I can not comprehend why someone who is anti-war, Anti-American or pro Islam (or whatever nonsense he is spouting) would join the Army - except specifically to undermine it. That is the definition of “traitor”
That, or he is seriously mentally ill
So take your pick among the only two options.
That is, when he wasn't babbling in dude-ism.
LOL. This was a tragedy this morning and is now turning to farce.
