Great clip from a very enjoyable musical.

I'd have to disagree with those who think ballet is feminine, delicate and soft.  I've never danced but one (male of female) could hardly endure the physical demands without a serious amount of strength and muscle, as well as grace and fluidity.  Kind of reminds me of gymnasts who make it look easy when it's certainly not.  Just my 2 cents.

I take a weekly adult beginning ballet class.  It is... by far.. the most difficult and physically demanding thing I have ever tried hands down.  Trust me, the novelty of wearing tights quickly wears off when you start to sweat and use muscles you did even know existed.
