The story

You can almost hear the piano. The girls stretching, fidgeting, not paying attention. One scratching her back. Another fixing her ribbon. Degas painted dancers on stage, mid performance, in full movement.

But this one is different. This is the in between moment. The part nobody paints. The waiting, the boredom, the sore feet. That's what makes this painting feel like you walked into the room.
