Oh, that’s tutu bad…..

Almost pigeon toed. Whatever that means?

That joke was en pointe.

Pas de duh.

Looks like she can still ballet up to the barre.

Why was the cow banned from ballet class?

It kept practicing its Dairy Air.

My neighbors 7-year old son constantly insists that she uses her ballet skills around the house…

He really keeps her on her toes.

Note: the Warsaw Ballet doesn’t appreciate being referred to as “Pole dancers.”

I used to know two birds who excelled in ballet…

They were two toucans.

The inventor of the ballet skirt was having trouble finding a name for it…

But then he put tu and tu together.

So my plumber is doing this Christmas-time ballet….

He’s calling it the Buttcracker.

I loved dancing the ballet. I started dancing at 5 years old and continued up into my mid 20’s. Our dance class was invited to dance with the Baltimore Professional Ballet Company when I was 8. What a wonderful experience to be around all these beautiful professionals.

So she didn’t pass the Barre exam?

Did you line the toe?

“The only thing that changes

Is my mind

I never could toe the mark

And I never could walk the line."

Never Could Toe The Mark. Waylon Jennings

If ballarinas are always on their toes, why not get taller ballarians?

So Muffy was not successful like Johnny Cash, who was able to walk the line.

the barre was too high

Yeah, she’s been barred for life.

The instructor was a heel, anyway.

LOL!!!

Which left me with a job in manual labor. Now I tow the line!

Kept breaking out the toes of her ballet shoes.

She accidentally kicked everybody while working on her twirls.

Ballet up to the barre boys.
