Hardship of Dancing

For this piece, I wanted to share a bit about my experiences with dance, ballet in particular. I’ve always felt that most of the general public seemed to overlook all the effort it takes to make dancing effortless. Often it takes years of training and dedication to achieve such grace and elegance even when performing the most complex of movements. This is displayed in the pointe shoes that are worn out and old, representing all the time, tears, and devotion it took for the dancer on the left to dance like she can now.
