What goes on behind the curtains
The ballet studio has turned into a sauna. Sweat drips off of the dancers and creates puddles on the floor. Dancers breathe heavily and their toes bleed through their shoes. Their bodies are tired but determination keeps them going. One hour has passed and there are still three more to go.
