pasta blanda

A charming story about a girl who may not have the classic ballerina body but whose passion for dancing makes her FEEL like one.

Merry dreams of being a beautiful, graceful ballerina, complete with all the accoutrements. So when Miss Lane announces she will offer a ballet class at school for interested students, Merry signs up right away. Merry doesn’t have the classic ballerina’s body: she is round and chubby and the ballet clothing her mother can afford aren’t exactly true ballet style. But Merry loves her classes and wants to solo for an upcoming competition. Shortly before the competition, she tries on her performance tutu and suddenly sees that she is not graceful or elegant, just fat. The joy goes out for her but on the day of competition, when she feels the energy of the audience and hears the music, all she knows and feels is that she is a ballerina, no matter her appearance. She dances from her heart and does beautifully.
