Ballet dancers make it look really easy, but ballet is so difficult.

Ballet dancers make it look really easy, but ballet is so difficult.

that is part of the wonderful appeal. ballet is incredibly hard and requires an athlete to do...but it also requires such intense control and grace...and you have to look good doing it. it's a very aesthetic-important sport...like figure skating and rythmic gymnastics. I get so much inspiration from all the great pics everyone has posted.

If you want to see more there's tons on the official Givenchy site. www.givenchy.com there's like 30 ads or something and they're all very beautiful.

This is from an editorial by Patrick Demarchelier.

Thanks for posting.

I think I can cheat a little since I started this thread but I wanted to include some figure skaters because it is so closely linked to dance... here are some pretty and inspiring skating dresses/poses.

sasha cohen, from http://www.sashafans.com (who for the record is both ballet-crazy and fashion-crazy )

michelle kwan from http://heatherw.com/mk ...quite a lot of her dresses are designed for her by vera wang. not sure if the one below is, but it looks it to me.

the lovely tanith and ben, ice dancers... from
