Iām sure Natalie especially would notice something like this, especially after being in Leon the Professional and getting a lot more unwanted attention from grown ass men from it.
Also might be that retirement starts in your twenties…just sayin š
Ballet is entertainment for the elites, and we all know they're a bunch of pedos. So, what's surprising about this?
I dated a dancer and she had the most horrible feet I ever seen in my life and would scrape TF out of my legs
Apparently, those with hypermobility syndromes like ehlers-danlos are overrepresented among ballet dancers because they "look" the right way when they're young and have greater range of movement in childhood
The problem is that the symptoms really set in just as the dancers are in the main part of their career
Pedos hide best in plain sight when they're wealthy and white. From ballet, beauty pageants, fashion shows, to all manner odmf kid sports.
I get the feeling that women are not respected in sports and the arts like men are. They donāt have to put up with this obsession with their body or what they were. Gymnasts, long jump, volleyball players trying to get shorts so they donāt have to worry about mishaps with their uniform. Itās a shame we canāt choose what we feel comfortable wearing or to be respected for our art, effort and not our look.
Infintilazation of dancers? You all been infintilazated by social media, cartoons, and anime way harder and is greater numbers than the peak performers of Ballet. Relax social wokies
Eating disorders and mental health issues are rampant within ballet even in teenagers. Itās really upsetting what weāre doing to our children.
Any guy over 39 talking about dating āgirlsā is a red flag in my book. Stop the patriarchy
Very girly voices? Talk about judgmental.
Just like gymnastics, they didn't allow them to grow fully, sad like models…those men just like kids not real women's bodies!
I mean it could also be that the majority of company dancers are fairly young. Like between 16 and 22 type of young. A lot of instructors are like in their 60s so itās pretty reasonable that an old person would refer to young adults as āgirlsā. Idk as a dancer I feel more infantalized by the outside media that treats ballet as a childish pink and ribbons pursuit that is only valuable in its aesthetics. Itās incredibly difficult and is much more nuanced than the cutesy aspects. In the studio weāre in a feminine space thatās dominated by very young people that are often children so we tend to take on a young and feminine mannerism. No one forces or influences us to act that way itās just the effect of being surrounded by young women. Honestly I find it wonderful because I donāt feel pressured to āgrow upā or be more masculine in a lot of ways. We can find joy in the freedom of being a little childish and feminine sweet because we grew up in a space where people wonāt judge you or try to put you down for it.
Would it be possible to reform some of this? Iām not a dancer or in that world so Iām honestly curious.
Unlike acting or Hollywood
Gross.
Most of the scenes shown her dancing are actually a professional ballerina that Portman and the director intentionally erased from public knowledge and didnāt credit
My cousin was a professional ballet dancer, she was that ballet shape. But then she took a longer holiday one year she was still training 4 hours a day, but not also putting on shows and she grew a lot curvier.
She went backand was criticized for her breasts, and ended up getting breast reduction surgery
Infantilization is the act of treating an adult or capable person as if they are a child, stripping them of autonomy, agency, and responsibility. It involves undermining an individual's competence through overprotection, micromanagement, or condescending behavior, often leading to low self-esteem and dependency
i had to look this up, hope it helps
One of them was with the late Prince Philip at one time…
Horrible American ballet. Abusive.
PƤdos are everywhere š¢š®š¢š®
Ballet at the Paris Opera was all children, actual girls, who were prostitutes after shows for wealthy male patrons. It was built to be this way and it's disgusting
Patriarchy.
Itās a world where patriachy has defined the ballet and itās female dancers.
This is so evil. This is not justice. Poor guy.
She needs to get over herself.
Such rubbish
It must be. Because ballet is beautiful in its own way, but who the hell would rather watch them than the samba queens in Brazil?
I mean, they're creating lines with their bodies, so of course they can't be normal plump or overweight, they have to be long and slim or it ruins the lines. That's just ballet. It's not like requiring slim dancers is inherently some great misogynistic injustice. Now the way they're pushed to be dangerously underweight – that is.
