Breathtaking. I should study ballet history or something. I could eat this stuff up.<br /><br />Here's the video link, in case you haven't seen it and may be interested: <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW01o9x0AlcJ. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05943824425307403057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368564801055168062.post-72996443538805404632011-04-24T10:49:47.134-05:002011-04-24T10:49:47.134-05:00It looks like they were in class when the photogra...It looks like they were in class when the photographer came by and were just posed quickly.

Like maybe she didn't know she was being photographed that day, and there was no such thing as a stylist's-assistant back then to run down to wardobe and demand a pink pair?<br />They look leggy and strong and Spartan, but like maybe after the photo there was some giggling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
