Dance exercises over dancers an insidious attraction that makes them work hours daily at perfecting an instrument which is really deteriorating from birth. To what end this eternal daily struggle? Because inside of all that is an ecstasy, brief perhaps, not always released, but when it is, like a moment in balance when all things great and small coincide. This can happen any moment, and when it does for a dancer he can smile without knowing it. There is no guarantee of this but it does exist. We see it and we know it.
