Inside the Pointe: Dancers Documentary

What brought you to ballet?  And what keeps you here?  Everyone has a different story.  Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes inspirational, this lovely film shares the experiences -- good and bad -- of five dancers.  Twenty-Five years after ballet school, they discuss openly how that pivotal time in their lives shaped them into who they are today and the cost of following one’s dream, and asking if it is ever too late to redefine one’s story in life.

The "insides" of the road to professional ballet, and careers in professional ballet are not always positive and healthy.  I hope that our ballet class stays positive for you and that we keep things in perspective.  We are doing this for our health and wellness -- both physical and mental -- and for the enjoyment of participating in a beautiful art form.

Dance with joy.  Respect the needs of your body and mind.  And understand that your abilities are perfect, as they are in any given moment.
