Ever seen a ballerina in her class and think, "Gee, I really wonder what's going on inside her head right now?" Well, wonder no more!
After all, "You don't have to know about Ballet to enjoy it, all you have to do is look at it".- Edwin Derby
So with that, here's a list of a dozen or so things that she will or has probably thought at some point during her morning ballet class. Maybe, just maybe it will bring us some sympathy.
1. "Ow"
Giphy
Especially when the muscles aren't warm.
2. "I'm tired"
Giphy
I mean its early in the morning, so this one is kinda like duh.
3. "I can't do this en dehors"
Giphy
Not this early in the morning.
4." THIRTY MINUTES OF JUMPS?!?!"
Giphy
Absolutely not. Nuh uh. No way.
5. Why aren't my feet pointing the right way?"
Giphy
"Like come on, work with me here."
6. "That was bad"
Giphy
And other variants such as "Ooh that sucked."
7. "I'm hungry" or "I want food"
Giphy
And the ever famous "I want a burger."
8. "It's cold in here"
Giphy
"Can we turn the AC up pleaseeee"
9. "I look fat"
Giphy
Yes, even if we are super skinny, we think this.
10. "Is my foot numb, or am I just so used to the feeling that it doesn't bother me anymore?"
Giphy
At this point, who knows?
11. "No more Allegro, please"
Giphy
"Just no"
12. "If I could just get my leg to go a little bit higher, that would be great"
Giphy
Is that too much to ask?
