Ballet Dancers on Twitter

Thanks to Twitter, famous ballet stars have a forum to put their thoughts out in the world. A recent New York Times article explores how followers can keep up with a dancer's perfomances (some even tweet during intermission, which to me is kind of like tweeting in the middle of your wedding, but anyhoo...), injuries, and a personal look into the goings-on of the ballet world. This is a great way for the stars' followers to get to know them on a more personal level, and not just see them on stage. Now, followers can read the dancers' thoughts and get to know their personalities.
