(And while we are posting dance videos, here’s one I absolutely love. The grace, beauty, and skill are completely en pointe. Heh, see what I did there?)

True Story: Black, white, brown, purple, plaid or paisley, there are lots of talented, well-trained dancers who do not fit the size-zero, fair-skinned, willow-like, corps de ballet mold.

Huge kudos to these young ladies for taking classical ballet and mixing it with modern music to make it their own.

They are making ballet’s loss their own gain. Go girls!!!
