The title of this one-liner attracted my attention, AQ. My granddaughter started ballet at a very tender age, and today, after ca 15 yrs she is still in love with this graceful art. Dancing on pointe shoes requires ability, strength and technique, something which here you handle metaphorically well. ~ Regards // paul

Loved going to the theater with my Mum...(she often got complimentary tickets, and took us children in turns...) Going into a fantasy world sometimes "cushioned" life's harsh realities....

Noted: Dancing en pointe can be uncomfortable, even painful. Most pointe shoes are handmade from materials like leather, satin, cardboard, glue. (loved researching this...) Aqua M.
