China Ballet

One of the lead ballerinas from the National Ballet of China heads to rehearsal at the National Ballet's studio in Beijing, China, Friday, Aug. 21, 2009. For Chinese, ballet is tangled up with China's blood-soaked revolutionary past, arriving here in the 1950s on a wave of pro-Soviet fervor and quickly repurposed as a propaganda weapon during the Cultural Revolution.
