Many people after or while reading it will think - how such a beautiful creatures - ballet dancers - can think so badly of themselves? Oh, believe me - we can and we do and here is why:
Ever since we are little - around 9 - we are being judged - not of what we can do with our bodies, but what we look like. What are proportions of our bodies, what is our height, what are our dimensions. Later on it only gets worse, because we start to be very aware of that cruel evaluation - because if you do not look certain way - you will never be the best or even good - you will be just another dancer, just another imperfect thing to be ordered around. With the time we abuse our bodies more and more.
