Are (were?) female ballet dancers supposed to look like structure and mechanics? While it's obviously an athletic pursuit, I can see as dressing it as one may be completely irrelevant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

if you hide the hips? easier to also hide the hip flask.
Horizontal or vertical pocket?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Horizontal or vertical pocket?
Vertical. Except you must be extra careful that the flask doesn't tumble out at awkward times while sitting.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have this weird thing where I catch the pockets of dress pants on the arms of work chairs or door handles.
The door handles at my last job were those lever type and I once was running for the phone and caught the door handle in the pocket of a pretty nice suit jacket. Nice, but not worth the cost of three inches of reweaving. Sigh.
It took several years of karate before my body would go to where my mind was telling it to go. No one has ever heard the word "graceful" and pictured me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Also, the short tutu makes for some interesting visual geometry in choreography. It creates a strong horizontal axis as it emphasizes the angle of both the upper body and the legs. It also makes a circle if the dancer leans over.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
On the flip side of all this, I have a friend who's naturally graceful. He rarely stumbles or bumps into things. One time he was standing on my porch steps smoking and shifted his weight wrong, causing him to slip off the step he was on. He just sort of let himself go and surfed down the stairs still holding the cigarette to his lips.

Thanks, ita. Chikat just answered the question in Bitches. Lee says thank you as well.
