The picture shows ballet dancers wait to perform on stage. They are all dancers at average age of 20’s. As we all know, ballet is a magnificent but relentless form of art. Normally age at 30 is a life stage when your career starts to begin or achieve something. However, as injury normally associated with ballet dancers, they choose to retire in their 30’s. In this picture, the moment reflects a question which is always in dancers’ mind that whether they should follow their passion in ballet after retirement or what they should do for their life.
