A Ballerinas Dance by Hunter Dasten Her feet float above the stage as if carried by some unseen force. From my view among the generally admitted I can hardly make out the details of her face. But those graceful movements are so alluring each subtle step, precise, and all consuming. She is the most vulnerable of all artists, performing a dance that demands every emotion soak through her skin. Each fluid movement pulls from the reservoir of her experience. Trained from a young age to move agilely across the stage, bearing the weight of the world upon her shoulders; My Ballerina has more heart than anyone else on earth. This reckless transparency, on the stage, is her glory. Yet in the average corner of existence this susceptibility to the suns rays would leave one suffering the harshest burns. My Ballerina hurdles from one emotional extreme to another with the cyclical tensing and relaxing of each muscle. My Ballerina is a martyr for her art, and a saint among the flock.
