Anyway, here's the first few paragraphs of the Financial Times review coming ...

Yesterday in ballet I looked in the mirror and do you know what I saw?image via Dance BloggersBuff arms!  I took off my sweater and was completely taken by surprise by the definition in my arms and shoulders.  They weren't exactly Michelle Obama arms but were definitely a step in the right direction.  And then that night at rehearsal one of my students said, "Um...
