[quote=Anonymous]00:51 Here's a very good and accurate description of the subculture of ballet. The author mentions the eating disorders and the social problems the young girls have. Also the unachievable desire of perfection which motivates these girls. Sad, really. Especially since they usually have to drop out in late 20s and certainly by early 30s due to injuries, stress fractures, bad feet. And dancers (corps) are paid so little, they can't go to college, so they usually teach ballet. Read this, it's good. http://www.siue.edu/sociology/EJS/v32kelso.htm[/quote]
