Ballet is an eloquent statement about the crucial role of art in bringing extra dimensions to our lives... As much as any seminarian, dancers have a special calling, an intense dedication. In classes and rehearsals, we see youngsters with ideal bodies looking for direction from those who have gone before. Outside the studios, they are just ordinary young people going to the beach ... Then the lights go down, the curtain goes up and they are transformed into the vessels of incredible beauty.
