:28:04
Hi. What are you doing here?
:28:08
Nothing.
:28:11
I'm just waiting.
:28:13
I know. I wasn't myself today.
I didn't get much sleep, I was really tired.
:28:18
It's not just today.
:28:21
I see you three times a week.
You're not improving.
:28:24
- I can work harder.
- No matter how hard you work...
:28:28
...there are certain realities about you
as a dancer that we have to face.
:28:32
We can wait the end of the year,
or talk about it now...
:28:36
...while you still have options.
:28:43
You're not very turned out.
So that needs work.
:28:50
And you don't have great feet.
:28:53
And while you're very pretty...
:28:57
...you don't have the ideal body type.
:28:59
Margot Fonteyn didn't have great feet.
:29:01
When Fonteyn was on stage,
you couldn't tear your eyes away from her.
:29:07
It can't be taught.
:29:11
In four months, we'll put on a workshop
in front of 3,000 people.
:29:14
It's an audition for every major
ballet company in the country.
:29:20
From what I've seen,
I can't cast you in that workshop.
:29:23
And if you're not on stage that day,
you won't get a job anywhere.
:29:29
So, what? Are you kicking me out?
:29:32
No.
:29:35
I just want you to really think...
:29:39
...if this is the right place for you.
:29:43
What a prick.
:29:44
He was nice about it.
:29:46
Being nice when you say something pricky
is even prickier.
:29:49
What if he's right?
:29:51
What?
:29:53
Let's be honest.
You're not like most of the girls here.
:29:57
Your technique is nowhere near
where it should be.
:29:59
There's more to being a great dancer
than perfect technique.
