sometimes i get triggered seeing the youths today with their crisp-white tights, delicate pink mesh wrap shirts, perfectly gelled back ballet buns and all the "pristine posh-ness" that is modern balletcore.
but i think it's bc that's how i desperately WISHED i looked in ballet class, unlike how i actually dressed (sweaty, usually second-hand leotards, fleshy-pink tights with hairspray-mended runs, ill fitting hand-me-down leggings that were a few sizes too big.)
i literally had a hetalia graphic sweatshirt, black butler sweatpants and american horror story graphic tanks as part of my regular warm ups- and im not gonna lie i get a little jealous seeing all these fashion girlies posting in their cute knitwear, knowing my ballet experience was so much less refined.
#im in a rural-ass area and my studio was far from prestigious#but even there people would judge the hell out of people who didn't look 'stereotypical ballet perfect'#like if you weren't a 00#or couldn't afford new clothes/made your own costumes#really sours a lot of my memories of ballet/dance#i still do youtube ballet classes/practice on barre every other day or so. but i don't think i'd ever want to join real classes again
