Love the poem! I took ballet but wasn’t flexible and could never make it to getting pointe shoes. Ballet seemed magical-pointe shoes, tutus, leotards and it was a fantasy I held for some time. Your illustration!! πŸ’– You captured energy and movement. I love the black lines against the color 🌟🌟🌟

Thanks so much Adah. When I got to college I switched to Modern and what elated to ditch the point shoes

I’m sure it was elating. It’s such a fantasy for young girls. It was, for me anyway-an unattainable one! I still love to watch ballet
