whatshouldwecallballet

When your parents STILL call your dance performances “plays”

Is your play at 7:00? 

When someone tells you the casting is up

When people try to impress you with their knowledge of ballet

When the artistic director doesn’t want your resume

When people can’t pick up choreography

When you mess up and the teacher glares right at you

When no one knows how to stagger lines.

When a choreographer asks you to do something not humanly possible

When you have to watch yourself dancing on video

When its the time of the month but you still have to dance

when really all you want to do is to curl up in the fetal position.
