I have a new vice, and it’s not junk food or chain-smoking — it’s staring at beautifully lit images of human bodies soaring through the air. If you like your Instagram feed to be a place of inspiration, look no further than the professional ballet community. Dancers’ accounts feature an array of breathtaking, mind-boggling photos of their craft, as well as your standard host of social media-style pictures of their ridiculously beautiful bodies partaking in everyday activities like going for a swim or hanging out with friends on a nice day. (Why do amazing muscles and perfect posture suddenly make normal life look art-directed?)
Yes, I know all those stunning moves are so much harder than they look, but isn’t that fabulous presentation half the fun? I’m lost in a dreamland rabbit hole and can’t stop scrolling through their gorgeous lives. Follow these ballet-focused Instagram accounts to turn your I into an instant vision board!
