Johnson sat down and looked at the luxurious hall full of guests. He had long heard classical concerts as one of the powerful tools for literary youths to show off, and of course, the ballet that was about to begin was also indispensable.

Instead, Yelena looked at the stage with a serious expression, her blue eyes flashing with yearning and some regrets?

"Actually, I have dreamed of being a ballerina since I was a child!" The girl said quietly, "Study from the age of five, until she was ten, because of the problem of moving. She asked herself many times, if she hadn't given up at that time, then..."

Johnson did not answer, where is there any if in the world?

The lights gradually faded, and everyone calmed down. As the music sounded, the curtain slowly opened.

Today is Swan Lake, which can be regarded as a classic among classics. The white swan born in Tchaikovsky's imagination is always a symbol of Russian ballet, symbolizing purity, greatness and nobility.

According to legend, Princess Ojeta was turned into a white swan by a demon on the shore of Swan Lake. Prince Siegferid visited Swan Lake and fell in love with Ojeta deeply. The prince chose the bride's night, and the demon asked his daughter Black Swan to disguise herself as Ojeta to deceive the prince.

The prince was almost deceived, and finally discovered it in time, fought against the demon and slaughtered it. The white swan restored the princess's original form, combined with the prince, and ended with a happy ending.

Looking at the elegant ballet dancer on the stage, she has a slim figure and delicate face, especially her slender legs, she is simply...

Thinking of Lao Guo's words, if you really want to appreciate the essence of ballet, you must buy tickets in the first row, and then...

Lying down and watching!

Seeing that Johnson smiled, Yelena thought she was conquered by the plot and whispered, "Their every move on the stage is for the plot, such as putting her hands on her chest to indicate me."

"Put your hands on the left side of your chest, your right hands inside, your left hands outside, and your palms facing you, representing love."

"The index finger and middle finger are close together and lifted their hands towards the sky, which is a swearing to the sky. Raise your hands above your head and draw circles alternately above to indicate that you will dance together."

Looking at the stage with complex eyes, he envied, "The people who can stand here are top dancers, especially classical ballet, who choose from one in a hundred from head to toe to the whole body."

"Long arms, long legs, long neck, small head, and because of dancing on the toes, the requirements for toes are also very strict. The big thumb and two thumb are preferably the same length as the middle finger, so that the weight of the whole body can be shared equally and the pain can be minimized during the dance."

Her words reminded Johnson of another profession, the thief.

I heard that there are strict requirements for fingers, so experts must be the same length?

"The legs must be 20 cm longer than the upper body, because the center of gravity of the ballet dance moves entirely on the legs, and the audience's sight will unconsciously concentrate on the legs. If it is not long enough and just as far away from the audience is on the stage, it will give people the feeling of only the upper body, and at the same time destroy the light and flowing beauty of traditional ballet."

In the second act, the four little swans made a brilliant appearance with elegant steps. Johnson couldn't help but stare at the dancer's legs, straight and symmetrical. Even if he was not a leg control, he had to be pleasing to the eye.

Yelena's eyes kept moving as the dancer's flexible feet continued to move, and she murmured to herself, "If an outsider claims to skip ballet for a long time, just look at the insteps of her feet, no one can deceive anyone."

"I have to admit that ballet is definitely a masterpiece that God enjoys food!"

"The kneecap should be stretched in, the knee should flow down in a line, and the spine should be vertical to the ground. This is called stretching and standing upright. Only such a body can have a noble temperament."

"You pay attention to their insteps. Many people don't know how to appreciate the details. Experts not only look at the insteps but also the knees, but whether their insteps are very bulging and their arms are very good..."

"Weight is a sensitive topic. I am afraid that I will gain a little bit, so I weigh it a few times a day. Even if anyone gains a pound and loses a pound, it will become the focus of the team."

According to Yelena's standards, Johnson appreciates the beauty of details, and gradually comes as the plot develops.

The white swan instantly stretched into the air, quickly and neatly falling into the arms of her companions. Her emotions were elegant and passionate, and she had a charm that pointed directly into the hearts of the people.

One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.

After stepping on the center of gravity, bend your knees, extend your arms outward into an inverted V-shaped shape, support the ground with one foot and tiptoe backward.

It seems like the most basic slip-on bowing movement of a ballet, from the first day to the time before retirement, there is no day that is not practicing.

In order to realize their ideals, their feet were also destroyed to the point of being unbearable. Many of them have been deformed and suffer from foot diseases such as nerves and joints.

Surgery and nailing are commonplace. In the hearts of ballet dancers, hardships and spiritual enjoyment coexist. Who has no tendency to abuse yourself?

The weight of the whole body is pressed on the three toes, and even if it jumps high, it will be silent. It rotates at high speed again and again, and I don’t know how much bitterness is hidden behind the smile?

The music became more and more exciting, and the black swan appeared. Yelena looked at the dancers on the stage and said excitedly, "She is my idol!"

"I studied dance at the age of 3, started to study ballet at the age of 6, entered the local professional ballet school in Buenos Aires at the age of 8, entered the National Ballet at the age of 14, and came to Moscow alone at the age of 15."

"After a year of study, I officially joined the ballet troupe, from group dance to solo dance leading the dance, and directly skipped the two levels of group dance leading the dance and solo dance. I was promoted to the chief on my 20th birthday and became a star that everyone was watching!"

Seeing the performance on the stage, Johnson had to admit that the other party was shockingly dancing skills. It may be from South America, and she has a very obvious characteristic - strong explosive power.

Especially the character of Black Swan, full of contradictions and temptations, like the flames from hell, inspiring the wildest in people's hearts, which gives her dance a different passion and vitality.

"I heard that for practice, she can wear sixty pairs of dancing shoes in a month!"

Yelena said with admiration, "Even learns to repair ballet shoes by herself, splitting and re-stitching different parts of the ground and re-stitching, which is better than a real tailor. Because only they know that the slightest gap will lead to a huge discomfort when wearing ballet shoes again."

As the plot was ups and downs, it finally came to an end. The audience stood up and burst into thunderous applause. Johnson also stood up and applauded for a long time to express his respect and respect for art.

No one can always stand at the center of the stage, and no one can even stand on the stage forever. No matter how much applause you win, the loneliness behind the scenes can only be borne by one person.

It may be that ballerinas have become accustomed to this impermanent fate. There is no applause or flowers, but the long and painful training has brought about the strength of the toe that is different from ordinary people.

Back at the hotel, taking off his body and let Yelena show off, especially her slender calves, and her snow-white jade feet...
Chapter completed!
