I remember the unforgettable feeling of being backstage, preparing to go on stage. For a little girl in a beautiful, airy dress, it was like stepping into a scene from a fairy tale. The bright lights shining down, the sparkling eyes of the audience, the magical music filling the air—all of it combined to create an atmosphere of wonder and anticipation.
In those moments before stepping out, a swirl of emotions filled my young mind. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach fluttering wildly. I watched the other girls, their faces a mix of excitement and nerves, as they peeked through the curtain at those already performing. Each dancer on stage seemed to move like a graceful swan, every leap and twirl full of confidence. I imagined myself there, my own feet gliding over the polished wooden floor, the layers of my dress floating around me like a cloud. My heart pounded not just with fear, but with a pure, innocent longing to be a part of that magic.
The girls around me had the same mix of anxiety and excitement. Some were silently mouthing their choreography, their lips moving in time to the music playing faintly from the stage. Others were bouncing lightly on their toes, feeling the tension in their muscles, getting ready to step out on pointe and begin their own somewhat uncertain dance. They knew that they had practiced for this moment for weeks, months even. And now, everything came down to this—those first steps onto the stage, into the spotlight.
For me as an artist now, those memories of being backstage are filled with a kind of enchanting tension that has inspired of my painting. I want to capture the delicate balance between fear and exhilaration that a young dancer feels, that raw emotion before she steps out and gives her all to the audience. The atmosphere backstage is one of transformation—a place where ordinary children turn into ethereal creatures, where their dreams of grace and beauty come alive.
The way the stage lights create shadows and highlights, the glimmer in a little girl’s eyes as she imagines herself floating across the stage like a fairy—all these are moments I strived to paint. The anticipation of the performance is as much a part of the dance as the dance itself, and I aim to capture that in my art: the whisper of tulle, the tightening of tiny ballet slippers, the soft focus of a child’s dreams about to become a reality. This is the essence that I want to convey, where the magical meets the real, and a little girl’s dreams take flight.
