The first thing I do when I get to work is take off all of my clothes in front of my colleagues. It might sound a little untraditional but that's life as a professional ballet dancer. And what a life it is. I stand in the corner of the dressing room, my jaw slack at the gorgeous creatures milling around in varying states of undress, as if it was normal to just stand around naked with your colleagues at 9AM- and I suppose at this job it is. Even though I am shy and tend to stay with my back to the wall, I still have managed to learn each dancer's anatomy so well.
There's Rosa who comes from Spain, with dark nipples against caramel skin, her long black hair always smelling of apples. Despite being currently topless, she is chatting casually to Amanda- a Georgia peach- whose short blond curly hair and big blue eyes make her look like the definition of America's sweetheart- though rumors have it that she is anything but. Her cross necklace is just a souvenir of a past that she is happy to never return to. Amanda is content to be completely naked all the time, just like she is right now, while she sews pointe shoes before the day's rehearsals. Her blond bush looks like it's never been shaven and so her hair is ample, soft and fluffy. Amanda's long limbs are something of a wonder even in this job where everyone has insane bodies.
The two women are best friends and sometimes I wonder if they aren't something a little bit more, too. It's the way they casually brush one another's hair behind the other's ear, the way Amanda lays her head on Rosa's lap when they are on a break, the way that some days Rosa's panties look suspiciously similar to the ones Amanda had on the day before.
But now a creature walks into the dressing room door that takes all the air out of the room, a star bright enough to take the attention away from even these two majestic beauties. Daniella Neveu has a way of making people's heads turn without effort. Guys, girls, it doesn't matter. The world eats out of her hands. She is the star of the ballet company, and has been for quite some time. I remember coming to watch her perform years ago, when I was still a little girl. It was the first time I saw ballet on a stage and Daniella's strong, powerful, sensual movements made me want to be exactly like her. And now here I am. And here she is. Getting naked in front of me.
Every movement is like a choreographed little strip tease. And I have a front row seat. She takes off her scarf and drapes it across a chair. The jacket is off, the silk shirt, and her leather pants that hug her surprisingly curvy ass. Now all that is left is a lacy black bra. I try not to gulp as she unclasps it and reveals two beautiful breasts. Daniella is the perfect example that size doesn't always matter- her breasts small but perfectly formed, with soft rose petal pink nipples.
She turns around and I'm afraid she caught me staring. I hurry out of the dressing room but I notice that Daniella seems to have a slight smile on her lips as I rush past.
I am the newbie of the company so my job is mostly to stand back and watch during rehearsal. Which I don't mind at all. Seeing these beautiful bodies bend themselves into shapes, float gracefully across the floor, defy gravity- it's a privilege. There is something so sexy about talent. My first day at the company I had to go home and touch myself because I was so turned-on by the level of skill these women possess. In my secret fantasies Daniella is the one touching me. It's her petite yet muscular form, the explosive power in her body- I try to tell myself I am dizzy from watching her do so many pirouette turns but I know the truth. I'm a little bit in love with her. It'd be hard not to be. That's why I'm so startled when she suddenly comes to the back of the studio where I am standing and trying to be invisible and says with an alluring authority, "New girl, go get me my leg warmers out of my locker."
