12 Thoughts That Go Through A Ballerina’s Brain During Her Morning Ballet Class

"Most people think of ballet as children in little tutus. They don't know it is sweat, blood, and tears as well!" - Nan Keating

12 Thoughts That Go Through A Ballerina’s Brain During Her Morning Ballet Class

In This Article:

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"

Especially when the muscles aren't warm.

2. "I'm tired"

I mean its early in the morning, so this one is kinda like duh.

3. "I can't do this en dehors"

Not this early in the morning.

4." THIRTY MINUTES OF JUMPS?!?!"

Absolutely not. Nuh uh. No way.

5. Why aren't my feet pointing the right way?"

"Like come on, work with me here."

6. "That was bad"

And other variants such as "Ooh that sucked."

7. "I'm hungry" or "I want food"

And the ever famous "I want a burger."

8. "It's cold in here"

"Can we turn the AC up pleaseeee"

9. "I look fat"

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?"

At this point, who knows?

11.  "No more Allegro, please"

"Just no"

12. "If I could just get my leg to go a little bit higher, that would be great"

Is that too much to ask?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
