Abella Danger is swapping one kind of spotlight for another.
The former adult film actress recently took a ballet class and shared the experience with her Instagram followers. And judging by her caption, she quickly discovered that ballet is not just about graceful poses and pretty tutus.
It is pain. Elegant pain, but pain.
Danger joked:
“You can’t tell me you’re not a masochist if you choose to take ballet class.”
Honestly, she may have a point.
Ballet looks beautiful from the outside. Dancers float across the floor, their movements look effortless and their posture is perfect.
Then you actually try it.
Suddenly, your legs are shaking, your feet are confused, your muscles are sending emergency messages to your brain.
And the instructor is smiling like everything is perfectly normal.
Danger’s Instagram post gave fans a glimpse of her ballet adventure. She appeared ready to take on the challenge, even if her caption suggested she had already learned the first rule of ballet.
Ballet requires strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, and plenty of patience. It is not exactly the relaxing afternoon activity some people might imagine.
There is also something wonderfully ridiculous about calling ballet “class” when your body feels like it has just completed a military exercise.
Danger’s post also gave her followers something different from the usual celebrity social media routine. Instead of simply posing for the camera, she was showing herself trying something new.
And she certainly did not pretend the experience was painless.
Her masochist joke pretty much summed it up.
Ballet fans have probably heard that line before in slightly different words. Anyone who voluntarily signs up for a class involving endless stretching, repetitive exercises, and sore muscles deserves at least a little respect.
So, will Danger become a full-time ballerina? Probably not, but she has already survived a class and that deserves applause.
