The dance ad that gets everything ballet wrong

This is an advertisement for ‘the entirely new collection of barre-ready dancewear and ethereal warm-up essentials’. Any dancer can instantly spot ten things that are wrong, some of them dangerously so. The dancer is not a dancer. Her ankles are not supporting her body. And look at her ankles, look at her feet. Blemish free.

The dancer is a model. Fake as fake can be.

Truth in advertising? Don’t buy their stuff.
