Aaaaand this is why I don't trust police officers.

I love this shot because you can see just how much muscle dancers have. So often people are like, "oh ballerinas are so dainty, so tiny, they're so fragile" No! This is what a dancer muscle looks like under the tights. It's awesome.

Plug for my favorite workout vid: NYC Ballet Workout. You get to indulge your ballerina fantasies in the privacy of your own home, and you get a great not-boring workout. Super fun.
