It’s not every day that you meet a ballerina from La Scala, let alone have lunch with her: you almost have the impression that some ethereal women don’t need to eat, so much do they seem suspended in a world of lightness and elegance.<\/span><\/p>

The meeting with Christelle Cenerelli, dancer at the Teatro alla Scala, is an informal chat over a glass of wine in a noisy Milanese tavern full of traditional dishes. During lunch, we discovered that behind that gracefulness there is an iron determination, but also suffering, loneliness and a story in which the body becomes an obsession.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A brief historical excursus: classical dance, and ballet as we know it today, were born in the classrooms of the Acad\u00e9mie and from here slowly began to codify, then finding the period of maximum splendor in the years of Romanticism. A centuries-old story that tells how, despite the passing of the centuries, even today the physical requirements and skills for dancing go under an endless list of physical characteristics, including elasticity, instep conformation, joint mobility, coordination and flexibility.\u00a0 Those who want to pursue a professional career have to face the harsh reality and only a few succeed, because it is often not easy to take note of how sacrifices and patience are not enough to compensate for the lack of physical requirements. In the classic, physical gifts and quality of movement come first, then technique and expressiveness. A theme, that of the body, that is very close to Christelle’s heart because, she tells us, the dancer’s physique must be almost compact, linear. The key word is harmony, even if this does not always pass through the acceptance of one’s physicality. All those characteristics of the genre are banned, such as generous breasts and round buttocks, which are instead enhanced in male dancers, where virility rhymes with muscles, broad shoulders, powerful chest. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
