nicrez - I remember my mom telling me as I was growing up that ballet dancers have ugly feet. . .here''s an example
Here''s part of an article. . .
Ballet dancers have a secret. It is hidden under satin, and we are further distracred by the grace and the beauty of a dancer''s body in motion. Insiders are hesitant to reveal the secret for fear of embrassing the dancers, but the truth remains.
Dancers have ugly feet.
The years of pounding and strain that their feet endure create crooked toes, discolored nails and skin rubbed raw. Not to mention calluses, corns, and bunions. The wear and tear is endured to achieve performances that appear graceful and effortless. ''It looks so beautiful but it''s physically brutal,'' says Lisa Hansen about the ballet. Hansen is one in a group of physical therapists from Orlando Regional Rehabilitation Services who completed baseline screening for the Southern Ballet Theatre last week. Along with an orthopedic physican and an athletic trainer, they donate their expertise to measure and record the dancers'' basic range of motion and fitness as a background for an future injury treatments.
