Ballet Boys

An Israeli choreographer told us how he got into dancing. Although he started late, age 16, he tested into the then tiny program that lets draftees continue dance training while in the army -- recognizing how much of their career they'd miss if they had to stop for three years.

Then we watched the Norwegian film Ballet Boys. See it. One tiny aside. Towards the end, one boy moves to London to study. we hear him speak Engoish several times. Beautiful English. How do they teach English so well? Aunother: is Ballet the only profession for which success requires ruining your body?
