best things in life

I am willing to admit that I feel I am due more in life than other people.

I am proud of this school’s history and culture.

The Algonquian legend describes the creature as” “a giant with a heart of ice; sometimes, it is thought to be entirely made of ice. Its body is skeletal and deformed, with missing lips and toes.” The Ojibwa describe it: “It was a large creature, as tall as a tree, with a lipless mouth and jagged teeth. Its breath was a strange hiss, its footprints full of blood, and it ate any man, woman, or child who ventured into its territory. And those were the lucky ones. Sometimes, the Wendigo chose to possess a person instead, and then the luckless individual became a Wendigo himself, hunting down those he had once loved and feasting upon their flesh.”

“The ballerina or the student with an eating disorder—it’s true, but it’s also a cliché, and in a professional company, those dancers unfortunately just don’t last. Or fortunately,” says Sascha Radetsky, a former American Ballet Theatre soloist who is now the artistic director of ABT’s Studio Company. “But they just can’t handle the physical stress if they’re not getting proper nutrition. So they kind of winnow away and you’re left with dancers, largely, with really healthy habits.”

Ballet teaches you a way of looking that is hard to shake even after you stop dancing, a way of spotting minute details—minute flaws—and fixating on them until they’re fixed.

Many of the dancers I interviewed rattled off explanations of their injuries in the highly technical terms you’d expect from someone who’s spent a great deal of time in a physical therapist’s office learning why a part of their body isn’t working the way they need it to.

When I heard the term “effortless perfection,” I recognized the concept instantly. This, I remember thinking, is just ballet. This is what we were taught in dance: to be athlete-strong but artist-unruffled. To work just as hard at concealing the work as we did at the work itself.

It is impossible to talk about ballet’s mental illness problem without talking about perfectionism, about the inevitable mental and emotional toll of an art form that requires its practitioners to spend hours in front of mirrors, comparing their fallible bodies to an unattainable ideal, and to each other.

This ties into the idea of multitasking, which contrary to popular belief, makes it harder to be productive. Instead of focusing your attention solely on one thing, you focus your attention on several things, which overall accomplishes less.
