The Dying Swan

I once has a subscription for Pointe Magazine and at the end of each issue there was an interview with a dancer where they would ask the question, "What is your most memorable/meaningful dance performance?" and one month the dancer interviewed said "I was out in the street once and there was a demonstration, and I just had to be a part of it; so I danced the Dying Swan in my jeans and sweatshirt to no music...afterwords, an old man came up to me with tears in his eyes, thanking me for my performance. That was most memorable for me"

I don't know why, but as a junior-high-wanna-be ballerina, I could think of nothing more beautiful.

I was randomly watching dance videos today and came across this masterpiece. I may have started to cry. She is a goddess. AND I'm determined to name one of my future children Odette. Now you know.

Have a Lovely Weekend!
