danced on point, had bloody toes, wore band aides, but loved dancing. They both danced in local ballet companies, performed in the Nutcracker, Cinderella, danced solos, etc. By the time they went to college, they were done. One granddaughter danced throughout high school, the youngest one, hated ballet, stopped before she was 10.

The art work is what dancers feet look like. (I danced as a 5 to 10 year old, I loved it. Parents said there was no more money for classes, as soon as I was ready to go on point.) I know sharing too much info, but the drawing is beautiful and realistic.
