I went to the Nutcracker back in 2011 and found myself impressed by some of the dancers. The pros, definitely, but even Clara, a teenage character. The ballerina that played her was obviously hyperfocused on every aspect of her life. Ballet, high school studies. and whatever other responsibilities she had as a person.
Me? I goofed off. I looked for shortcuts. I looked for free time. I wasn't even average, much less a ballet student for a major city's most major company.
