The author, a former professional ballet dancer, recalls her earliest negative reaction to Edgar Degas' portrayal of ballet class, changing to enthusiastic appreciation after her career ended. Juxtaposition of feminine beauty and dark masculine consciousness, the painter's sympathy with details of a dancer's life, and the role of emotion in his works are discussed.
