Ballete dancer performs dance moveHere’s a little dance eye-candy to start your day off right (or end it… or fill in the middle depending on what time of day you’re reading this).

[Note to self, stop making references to the time of day in your posts.]

The Washington Post went behind the scenes at the Washington Ballet and asked the dancers to demonstrate some of their most difficult moves.

These amazing feats of athleticism and grace would be incredible to watch straight.

But they threw in a little slow-motion action that drives home how truly jaw-dropping these moves are.
