The 10 Reasons We All Became Obsessed With Ballet in 2015

The life of a dancer is undeniably gruelling AND beautiful, and both sides of dance can be seen in photos through The Ballerina Project. Created by photographer Dane Shitagi, the project started as an Instagram account that went viral, and features thousands of images that show ballerinas posing in real-life environments. The photos display the absolute and incredible athleticism ballerinas have, and provide beautiful fitness inspiration as well. The site now uses more high-quality digital images, and fans can pay to subscribe in order to see photos that aren't available to the general public. The beautiful pictures are also available for purchase.
