so somehow I got to wiki’ing the plot of the ballet Giselle, which features the wilis, vengeful spirits of women who were jilted before their weddings and, as a result, lure living men into dancing with them until they die
so I came back to see what Tumblr had on them and found this
long story short, National Ballet, while I have been jilted, I’ve never danced a man to death in revenge, though I guess you could say it’s always been a goal
