  &quot;Ballet isn&apos;t for men because it is fluffy&quot;<br>HA! I say and a double HA HA! Every single guy (myself included) in our ballet class leaves feeling like we&apos;ve run two marathons back to back. Our teacher is lovely but she pushes you to improve as much as you reasonably can. Anyone who thinks any form of dance is not a gruelling work out is a fool who lives in blissful ignorance.

  As a professional ballerina, I was taught from the beginning that if something falls onstage and you can get rid of it, it’s your responsibility to do it. I’ve fallen in class being a little extra with my fouettés too. I laughed so hard.

  The “dramatic cape flip” provoked that rare “double-guffaw” phenomenon for me - one for each repetition. &nbsp;Thank-you!

  When I was dancing in a gala in Moscow, the ballerina in the PDD before mine (beautiful dancer performing Flower Festival) face planted the floor from arabesque like the Swan in the video. It was horrible and we all thought it was due to a slippery spot we all avoided all night. It sadly turned she was doing some bad things to lose weight and passed out. I’ll never forget it.

  I &nbsp;love how the music at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEAtxeG6fXs&amp;t=320">5:20</a> fit perfectly for the guy getting entangled in the curtain xD<br>also, that moment when the cape gets caught under Odile&apos;s foot (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEAtxeG6fXs&amp;t=680">11:20</a>) feels really symbolic for their dynamic xD

  One more thing, vis-a-vis the danseur who wrapped himself so stylishly in the curtain and Jordan&apos;s comment that, once you get close to them, curtains have this strange gravity that pulls you in: <br>So I heard from a friend of mine who rides motorbikes very well that, in biking, there&apos;s a term for where you&apos;re drawn towards the very thing that you wish to avoid once you get quite close to it, and that is &quot;target fixation&quot;. The problem is that when you become frightened of colliding with something, it has become a threat, which of course you want to avoid and escape. In order to escape it, your instinctive reaction is to stare at it, to be sure of its exact position... which doesn&apos;t help you at all. If your gaze is directed at the hazard, your head is too, and therefore your body also turns in the direction of the hazard, AND SO DOES YOUR BIKE. <br>Motorcyclists get trained to break target fixation by looking away - which is effective but very much easier said than done!

  Super extra late here, but I love how you guys always pointed out something good the dancers did despite the fail - checking on each other, continuing to dance, getting up quickly, holding their pose so their partner could try again. It made it so much more fun to watch than just seeing all the mistakes. <br><br>But also I totally watched every mishap twice, once to see what happened and then again to enjoy your reactions too. You two are priceless!
