Inside the Last Day of a Ballerina’s Career

by Caitlin Valentine as told to Katie Slattery | May 21, 2024

Caitlin Valentine stands center stage, her feet in a small first position, holding pink roses in her right hand and touching her chest with her left hand. She smiles gratefully toward the audience. She wears a filmy, cream colored calf-length dress with an empire waist. She wears her long dark hair pulled back near her face. Bouquets of flowers are scattered around her on the stage floor.
