What I learnt from these beautiful ballerina's:
Misty Copeland - sometimes we see the end result. The face of a perfume advert, the face on book covers and the face of sport or dance lines. We don't see the struggle, the ballerina defying the odds. We don't actually realise that this ballerina will pave the way to future generations having ballerina's of colour.
Mary Helen Bowers - a ballerina that's shown us a professional career in ballet doesn't have to end when they stop dancing on stage. A new career can be established, one that shows that ballet, and the grace and elegance of ballet, can fill our exercise regimes, our fashion, our beauty regimes and our everyday life. The beauty of ballet is in our life, we just have to uncover it and live in it.
Darcey Bussell - the exquisite dream of a ballerina.
The technique, the beauty and the passion lived from a young age and still in every day dance life. Dancing for the Olympics, then travelling and sharing a documentary and hidden treasures on Audrey Hepburn. Even ballroom dancing can be very much a part of being a ballerina.
Margot Fonteyn - the perfect body and the perfect technique are very easy to focus on solely. A dream is almost in motion and a sense of ethereal beauty when you watch some ballerina's dance. Some have the gift of ushering in such a perfect sense of meaning and feeling it can render people to tears. In reality it takes an incredibly strong ballerina to be so poised when personal life is such a hardship. Despite what life gives us we can be read about and watched as one of the greatest ballerina's and part of one of the most beautiful duets.
Live your dream but find your own happiness,whatever that looks like to you as an individual, or else the dance is just a dance.
