Romeo & Juliet
I'm not that much of a fan of ballet, it's too corny. Especially when, after the show, the dancers bow and still keep up that good body-tension and just look like... I don't know, the epitome of schmaltzy. It's like watching a movie from the 30s, my entrails literally cringe.
However, it's always impressive how those dancers bend their bodies into beautiful shapes.
I got an idea for a novel while I was watching the show, which is excellent!
