Sometimes you don’t have power to move your fingers. You say it’s because of the weather, and take a vitamin, sleep two more hours.
Sometimes your shoes hurt your feet. You don’t even want to take a step, just want to cut your feet from the wrist and but it away.
Sometimes you feel distressed, have a stomacache, and your period come, you suffer for sweat, you want to have your hair cut.
There is only one comman point make all the non-connected things so important and related. Yes, if you are a ballet dancer, all these told events appered to the others become much more important for you.

First of all you should accept that ballet is an art defied all body laws. While the people against law constitution adjudicated by the heaviest law fines, the people who don’t obey the body laws, not feeling pain can’t be taught.

Ýf we came to the begining, suppose that you get into conservatory to see the ones taking their first Professional step to  ballet.  You will witness the little girls whose hair is done up in a knot, and sweat boys, waiting next to their ambitious and assertive mothers knees. It is so painful to know at now that, the kids go out from the door as one of  winers of the examination, in unaware  conditions; the moment  they feel they can never give up ballet and it is already too late for every, actually they should give up lots of things.

Lord, my goal isn’t to break down this miraculuos art branch adorns tens of people’s dreams, acting as a magician. But how many people can go on normally from where they stop after wearing thiny mos sock to freezly wringed pile of muscles, and also smiling while wearing a flowered crown.

“Nothing about your pain to spectators!” is ballet educators biggest back door. They are not wrong! What is for the people spend money to watch you, further more important  pick up some time from their life to watch you, about injured feet wrink or a torn injury….

However  doors don’t finish with these. There is another door used by the same educators and on the contrary of the other this opens by hitting to your face.

“If you don’t make ballet, first day you, second day choreographer and third day spectators will recognise”

In this way, a person gives  decision to be a ballet dancer under a coefficient obligatory  in the subconscious, is a need to work for long hours in a hard circumstances and there is no at least a cigarette room to run away.

A ballet dancer has to dance every day, at least has to do lesson fulled with techinical exercises. Because get in to rehearsal or  dance on the stage without making exercise  is against the ballet and body laws, can be said as forbidden.

Just we say the body rules, we should point that a dancers body is different than the normal people’s.  For example, one legs getiing up 180 degree means changing the body skeletons totally.  Although  the talent here is at the abdomen and the back before the leg.  Because all moves are done with infinitive abdomen power and back strength. Ýf upper part of body don’t blocked, legs can’t find atmospher to move, even gets heavier.  While their burden gathered at abdomen and back, at the lower part of body there will be place for all thee big and fast moves.  There , sometimes the musles aren’t reaaly tried to be used at daily time could be indispensable. Furthermore  cause of this,  some impairment can’t be defined clearly by sport doctors.

For lots of people, the most interesting part of ballet is being able to walk on toe tips.  Actually there is more interesting thing  that, that is a detaly for  ballet dancer. Even at the turns, the poses and the balances are easier on toe tips than being on the ground.  The diffucult part is  not the get up on toe tips, is opposite of it, getting down from it. Because the shoes called “point” which ballet dancers wearing, 

Try not to reflect this phsical change to soul but they envy and are jealous to people  right next to them who can stand on balance a couple more seconds than them and make turns, living deeply feeling of  lonelyness. But any tiny insufficients at the body  cause another soul problems; if you don’t obstruct it, it could reflect to behaviors even to relationships.

Sacrificing a part of body won’t be enough for this ungrateful branch of art. This can be a habit even a lover or family.  Some parents can’t give comprehention for childs raising up to the sky by being holded between legs. Neverthless a dancer hasn’t got a nakety consept cause of wearing flufy clothes seems like swimsuits since younge ages. This is really so hard to be explained to family or to a lover tied up with sexual desires.

However, there is a person who struggle far from the place with her body, soul and owner of other bodies and location in the country!

Dancer working on state ballets as salaried couldn’t dance actively. Because retirement laws don’t include body workers (or dancers) so lots of dancer are so tired (!) to go up to ballet salon at the 6th floor. The young and new graduated  dancers who couldn’t find a change cause of retirement law and state dancers,  evaluating their fresh bodies at opera, musicals, cinema, clip, advertisement which mean idea aren’t ballet or the right explanation is wasting their time. People read this writing, maybe responsibles of this condition will agree on this, like every human beiing the ballet dancers need money to continue their lives.  However the ballet dancer be kneaded with hard disipline, body forcing, pain and impossibilities, they are  choosen the second onerous workers after mine employees.

At the time you don’t even want to move your finger, a ballet dancer should have to turn four time at the sky. That is a human being and be sure that you won’t even recognise him/her having a abdomen spasm while.  Even if you want a hair cut, you won’t have to bun your hair,  to know you won’t sweat till the end of the day when you have maden your  hair straight, when you get your period, you don’t have to wear “tutu”, when you want to eat sweet, doesn’t matter if you get weight, won’t change your movement syncronious, maybe there is some couple of concreate examples for your   being happy or at least happier than a ballet dancer.

But the ladies getting lost seems flying between tulles  play the role of  butterfly, angel or swan you wach are sweatting to do the moves seems extraordinary for lots, are modest as forget all the pains while hearing the sound coming from one couple of palms.

What can we say; at this life  the biggest pain is feeling no pain, hope that becomes to the other pains which don’t get less by  applausing.
