Through The Eyes of a Ballerina

Bonjour! I am an aspiring ballerina who wishes to share with you the beauty of ballet. I do occasionally post pictures of myself, but usually I reblog my favorite pictures from others. Happy dancing! -Gillian Dancing is like dreaming with your feet! Dancers are instruments, like a piano the choreographer plays. ~George Balanchine To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. ~Agnes De Mille Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another. PersonalBlog FashionBlog BohoBlog
