Even though we saw the ballet performance a while ago, the third act is still very vivid in my mind. I had never seen a ballet before, but I had certain expectations about what ballet would be like. I was not particularly interested in ballet, or in dance in general. I did not anticipate seeing anything like the last act – the more modern dancing. Instead, I had imagined the third act – the traditional ballet routine. When the couple came out and started to dance, or “float,” as I saw it, I was speechless. All of my preconceived notions about what I would feel or think while I saw a ballet performance vanished. I was enraptured by the gracefulness of the ballerina and the light, fluid movements that she and her partner made. The music along with the dancing made such a beautiful performance and gave me a different appreciation for ballet.

Many young girls claim that they want to be ballerinas when they grow up. I never understood this. My childhood dream was always to be a secret agent. Once I saw the beauty and sophistication of this performance, I understood why so many girls aspire to be ballerinas. Ballerinas are elegant, poised, and beautiful. When they dance, they seem as though they weigh not an ounce more than a feather. The leaps,spins, and steps were all choreographed so perfectly and the performance overall helped me understand ballet and its purpose. The third act of the ballet was not only aesthetic, but also was inspiring.
