[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This honestly seems like a logical transition from high level ballet training to me. For one thing,[/b] we don’t know if she was good enough at ballet to have a sustainable career,[b] even if she wanted to. Also ballet is at least partly torture in service of a beautiful picture, which is exactly what she does now. She’s the prima ballerina of Mormon influencing. There’s nothing in this article that proves she lacks agency. It’s just a sloppy hit piece. [/quote]

Actually we do. First, real ballet dancers call themselves that .. ballet dancer. You never refer to yourself as a "ballerina". That's a serious rube move. Only the top
female soloist in a company is the ballerina. Second, a 20 second google search shows thst she took a SUMMER intensive course at Julliard at 14. That's summer camp in the ballet world. She did not  "train" or "dance" at Julliard, just like I should not say I trained under Balanchine (or at Juilliard) when all I did was take class at NYCB or Juilliard Finally, after the summer intensive (age 14) she returned and then went into a theatre program at BYU (not impressive in the ballet world). Actually attending Juilliard isn't all that impressive in the ballet world because the real
ballet talent goes straight into companies. Some start at 14 and are tutored for high school exams. Serious ballet dancers don't have time for college[/quote]
