When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. They were the symbol of grace, beauty, and a whole other world. Of course, my little dream of becoming a ballerina did not last once I discovered how completely uncoordinated I was, but the beauty of ballet never faded in my mind. They were still so graceful and mysterious in their usually completely silent performance. Now, things are changing. Ballet dancers are trained to keep as silently as possible on stage, even their stages are specially designed to keep noise to a minimum. So the idea of a ballerina talking to the audience and introducing the show is definitely something very new and untraditional. The New York City Ballet are introducing a new idea to the dance, and making the audience connect more with the dancers. People are naturally curious and having the performers be more approachable seems like an excellent way to expand the field of ballet.
