Ballet is a truly amazing art form. It's extremely difficult to perform, yet dancers make it look effortless. In this book I will be putting together the information I find on it, as well as the history of each figure in its history, and sharing my thoughts on it.
This book is more intended for dancers who want to learn more about the art, however anyone is welcome to read and share your thoughts on it.

Fresh off the Ice
I am a Figure skater. I skate 6 hours a day, 30 hours a week and about 2,700 minutes a month. That doesn't include training, off-ice, ballet, drama, and yoga. I have three coaches (the top best), a choreographer, physical trainer, a ballet teacher, a drama teacher, a dietitian, a podiatrist, a chiropractor and a tutor. I know what your thinking. All this for a sport? It's not a sport, it's a lifestyle and a PASSION. (I thought I would right this story because I am a figure skater and I didn't see a lot of figure skating books so I wrote a story I might enjoy reading -from a fellow reader and writer)Complete
All Over Me
Selene I finally decided to audition for the New York City Ballet. And it looks good, since Thomas Archer-one of the choreographer-wants to see if Ace Archer and I are good partners for a contemporary and classical ballet that we would perform next year. But as a ballet dancer, touch isn't really my forte. Especially when I don't get along with my partner. Ace My body language is touch. My friends and all my former partners are used to me touching them all the time, they don't react to it anymore. But she does. Selene Isabel Quinn reacts to my touch in a way I didn't think was even possible. Despite the fact that she...despises me. And I don't like her that much either, so we're even. Every time I touch her, though, it feels different. I don't know why, and it fucking frustrates me. Quinn Sisters #2Complete

Once in a lifetime.
When the rest of the band stepped away slightly Dalton put his arm around my waist and I thought my knees were going to buckle. I knew what I was going to do, and I needed all the courage I could muster up. As my brother's thumb goes down to take the photo I suddenly turn my head, close my eyes, and kiss Dalton right on the cheek. Dalton is known as a "rockstar" playing shows every night in the biggest cities. Juliet is a wallflower ballerina in a small town. What happened when their world collide? And what will happen when someone from Daltons life tries to take what's rightfully his? An even bigger twist, you get to decide the ending. This was originally FacFiction that I changed into a sort of kind of legitimate story. I started it in high school and my 24 year old self is trying desperately to fix it because I've written two sequels to it as an adult. I'll also be publishing them once this one is fully published. If you don't like the story, I get it, I don't really either 😅. Trigger warnings: ⚠️ Eating disorders (I've experienced) ⚠️ Bipolar disorder (I did my best on the research) ⚠️ Child abuse (I've witnessed) ⚠️ Low self esteem (I've experienced) ⚠️A bit of self harm from another character (I've experienced) ⚠️Miscarriages (I've witnessed) If there are any that I've missed feel free to let me know!Complete
