Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale really?! (NEWSIES!!!) I only knew Patrick Swayze did ballet actually lol but I had a feeling about Channing Tatum.

I was so in love with Christian bale in newsies as a kid that I did t think I would survive it.

[notoriousreign]

I was obsessssssed with him in Newsies when I was a teen lol

[frejasface]

is he just a collective fever dream

perfect description is perfect

Mads being with someone older than him is really the best :')

well while not a celeb I took ballet myself when I went to this performing arts academy after school while in 3 - 5th grade. I wasn't great at it - weak ankles - but it was a decent enough time

hey, fellow barre bb!

That photo of Chris Messina is scaring me. Adult head with teenager torso and hands and child legs and feet I'm so confused. And freaked out!

😂😂😂😂😂

i was thinking the same thing. i knew a few kids like that growing up; their heads hit puberty before their bodies did.

i love that his dance skills were incorporated into the mindy project--and made sexy.

Haha @ those gifs thank you for this bright spot in an otherwise bleak day xx

I think it's because it's a photo of a photo and the angle fucked up with the optics

Love this post. Love ballet.

I wish I was in ballet as a kid. I'd love to learn it as an adult but it's probably way too late to get into it at 30 lmao.

don't be discouraged. see if there are barre classes in your city.

there are great takeaways no matter what your age is: improve your flexibility, self-discipline, your sense of timing, physical musicality, self-image--especially if you're not doing it professionally. you get all of the positives and almost none of the negatives.

I actually just looked up adult ballet classes and maybe I will do it!? I'm treating my move as a brand new start so maybe I'll put that on my list of things to do!
