I might wear leggings and slippers to work, but I am strong, and I am beautiful, and I am confident. I am a ballet dancer and proud of it.

Chase Finlay is a born-and-bred American boy who dances for the New York City Ballet; there are plenty of videos at the source too. There is something so captivating about this shot; his legs look as if they were carved from powder blue pastel sticks and his torso is an ideal inverted triangle shape. He’s got a great smile, too, definitely a boy you bring home to meet Mama. 

(The caption is fictional, btw).

God, he’s so pretty.

This is dancer Robert Bolle again. He is pretty isn’t he? With his little chest constellations, firm pouty lips, soulful eyes, and arms sculpted like sand dunes, he could break your heart or say the the cruelest, cutting words about your body and you’d still cling to every honeyed word he says. Fortunately for you, judging by he look on his face, Robert is on the cusp of ravishing the next person who comes along unconscious… and I can’t help but feel he’s looking into a mirror here. 

(Btw in case my new followers were wondering what that explosion of ballet pics were – that was one of my late night ballet reblog sessions. Do love the dancing men. This is the last pic for tonight~)

Gravity vanishes, bones soften into gum, time is suspended as each jump lasts a millennium… is she an instructor? or a sorceress, working her spells on the most supple male bodies?

(This is not a recent photo. Galina Ulanova passed away in 1998 at the age of 88. She was 87 when this picture was taken, so it would have been shot in 1997. Nikolai is rehearsing his role as Narcissus. Here is the other image from the set. Some more info on the photo is here.)

Oooo such bulging calves and dainty toes. …Doesn’t it look like he’s hailing a taxi? I can imagine some gnarled old Italian taxi driver taking one look at him and exclaiming, “Damn! Is that what the pansies are wearing these days!?” …and then getting in a fender-bender from being distracted by his amazing legs. Cause damn, Ruslan knows how to rock the blue tights.
