Dancing clothes

I love movies where the plot revolves around dancers, particularly ballerinas.  I'll even watch movies that completely lack a storyline as long as there are legwarmers and tutus (I own Center Stage, it's pretty awful). I draw the line at crazy sequels but I've seen Step Up somewhere around ten times and not because that one guy is in it either, I genuinely enjoy all the dance scenes.

I was planning on seeing Black Swan when I saw the beginning of the trailer but by the end I'd changed my mind, I think it had something to do with the whole pulling feathers out of her skin thing. I'm sure I'll eventually end up watching it just to see the wardrobe and the choreography, I have a feeling Natalie Portman was able to execute the role quite nicely.

With that said, I have a ton of respect for all professional ballerinas everywhere.  I took ballet classes last spring and although I loved it, it was challenging beyond my expectations.  It's the most beautiful art form because it's the most difficult and requires the most dedication.  I still like to put on my ballet shoes every once in a while and practice what little technique I learned, it makes a bad day a little better.  I'll continue fighting the urge to buy a tutu though.
