I bought pointe shoes without the shank so I could wear them on Halloween – I swear someday I WILL dance en pointe.

Fortunately, I am too short to have ever seriously considered a career in dance. Otherwise, I am sure I would be bruised and hungry. Happy, but bruised and hungry. And broke, no doubt. But for the few brief moments in class when music and choreography combined and combusted through me, wow. Then there’s the memory of Natalia Makarova performing La Bayadere, an impossibility of fluidity and magic. Any insight into this other world is a treat. Can’t wait to see it.

How can one ever forget the unmistakable moment of reckoning when you hear, for the first time, the hard landings of ribbon bound feet.

I have always been in awe of dance, contemporary and classic both.

At the age of 6, I walked ‘en pointe’ in my little bare feet, desperately trying to convince my mother that I must become a ballet dancer. It never came to pass.

30 years later, I would design costumes for Leblond Danse,a modern dance troupe from Montreal. It was simply one of the best creative exchanges I could ever ask for…and now you know why.

the two minute video and your comments and quotes from others has me ordering this on Netflix now. I want that coat too! Love the Twenties styles.
