Answer #3

EQ: What is most important for perfecting the role of a ballerina?

Answer 3: In order to perfect the role of a ballerina, you must be "immune" to pain so that pain doesn't stop your dancing.

Facts: Pain overcomes a ballerina everytime she puts the pointe shoe on. Every time they dance, there's always a certain amount of pain in their feet. Pain also comes when a blister is formed or popped, when you have a current injury (ex. tendonitis), when the pointe shoe is worn out, when a toe nail is a little too long, and lastly when your feet/ankle/legs are too exhausted.

Example: John, Emma. "'I Was Doing a Solo and I Heard My Foot Crack'" While the ballerina was dancing onstage, she broke one of her bones but she still finished her performance without any emotion of being hurt.
