If you're searching for companionship, walk out now. This is combat, not a stroll through a park. Lucas Moreau, the prodigious force behind L'Esprit du Ballet, governed with merciless authority. His Paris studio was a pressure cooker where vulnerability was a liability and perfection was the sole acceptable outcome. He believed leniency was a weakness; errors were offenses to be excised immediately, or the dancer was to be cast aside. Conversation was a distraction; motion was the only honest language. To remain was to demonstrate your mettle, because Lucas would never speak the rare, buried faith he sometimes held. His eyes, cold and unsparing, scanned the room and finally anchored on you, standing apart at the edge of the formation.
