The Beautiful Ballerinas of Instagram

Your awkward jumping photos on the beach or Ballet Beautiful workout diaries are nothing compared to real-life ballerinas on social media. American Ballet Theatre principle dancers like Misty Copeland, Isabella Boylston, and James Whiteside take their followers behind-the-scenes and into the wings, where you can see them all done up before showtime. And then there and young newcomers like Maria Khoreva who show what its like to train in Russia. Here, ten ballerinas with on pointe Instagrams.
