First Variation of the season

Every summer I have taken a variation class, a variation is a short solo done one of the leads in a ballet. I have attached a video of the variation done by some fabulous dancer. I wish I could dance this good. Some of the steps are slightly different from what I learned but basically it is the same.This dance is from the ballet Giselle and this is Giselle preforming a dance for her lover and trying to not let her mom know I also found a quote that sums up my feelings about ballet. Including my toes that aches from doing to many hops on pointe. “If ballet were easy, they'd call it football” That is all I need to say!
