Anyone who thinks of ballerinas as dainty waifs has never met Annie and Hope Garcia.These young women are tall, strong and athletic to the core, spending several hours every week practicing ballet.

They study and perform in the American ballet style, described as “intensively aerobic and athletic.” It requires a combination of skill, attention to the minute details, athleticism and the ability to push through pain, all with a smile.
