Ballerina Irina Dvorovenko: ‘All Artists Are Very Vulnerable’
“All ballet dancers, all artists, are very vulnerable,” Dvorovenko said.
“There are so many insecurities because it’s a huge responsibility and
you’re dealing with discipline, routine and pain. From an early age, you
have to learn how to control yourself. And have tremendous inner
strength.”
“The ballet world is pretty hidden,” Dvorovenko continued.
“We dedicate
our life to it. The audience sees beauty, grace, glamour, lightness,
passion. Behind the curtain it’s a very difficult routine and strict
discipline.”
