The Dancing Dogs

Ballet is ballet because I am dancing to it. It’s about dreaming and making others dream too.

Ballet makes me fly even though my wings are broken, and I look like a lonely dog.

< i am still dancing somewhere between who I am and who I wished to be >

Do you remember a time you were chosen, when a single look left you covered in glitter, dripping with sparkles all the way to your tippy toes? Have you danced to it as if there were no end, no one watching, and no time to wake up?
We are looked at, and we find ways to look. Somewhere between looking and being looked at, between seeing and wanting to be seen, we might find each other.
It's you, my ballet, our fantasy.
