That is an excellent point I had not considered, but I kind of hate that you said it.
Because that is correct. It is also extremely competitive, and they. Do. Have. Elite dancers, primas (prima literally means "first"), and.
Now that you mention it. They are. The best. Of. The best.
So. Now. My mind has immediately and without my permission constructed a Top Gun ballet AU, because it works perfectly, thank you so much, Cat.
don't know how to explain but these are very he was a punk, she did ballet
#ideal#Cursed#It works too well you're killing me#Ballet is all about precision and form and INSANE stamina#It's really really hard to do on a professional level#There are ballets where the dancer can lose POUNDS of body weight DURING THE PERFORMANCE because it is so physically demanding#And (it's getting worse) there are specific physical qualities that are considered for ballet#And ballet has very much been one of the last arts to cling to that kind of thing because of a lot of things I'm not gonna get into rn#But just know that height is one of them#So not only is Maverick going to be at odds w tradition and establishment and a lot of the other dancers bc he's creative and likes to riff#But he's SHAPED WRONG he was BORN THAT WAY and no matter what he does he can't change that#If he trains a million times harder than everyone else he's still going to be at a disadvantage among some audiences/teachers/directors etc#Because of something inherent and unchangeable that is readily apparent and he has to carry around forever#I HATE this fuck shit dammit
