So we smile...
The thing about dance. Is that when you do it right, it simply tires you out. If you don't feel the stretch and the pain when you dance, you are doing something wrongly. Ballet is painful -- this is something my teacher never fail to remind us. Does that make dancers masochists?I just spent about an hour doing some basic exercises. Its amazing that with just 2-3mins of tendue, i broke into a sweat equivalent to a 20mins run!
Dance is an art of artful disguise. We smile though we are in pain, we smile though some part of our body is unnaturally stretched. It always looks easy. Thats the crux of it all. We make it look easy. No one enjoys seeing high legs from a face contorted in pain. So we smile.
