PHOTO BY REBECCA GAR(Sara Nemes had been dancing sinceshe learned how to walk. Even when Iwas a little girl I put on dresses, andtwirled around the house, She was bornand raised in Hungary until fifth grade,Nemes called her Mary-Janes herdancing shoes in Hungarian when shewas a toddler. In sixth grade Nemesreceived real dancing shoes - her firstpair of ballet slippers. As a sophomoreshe would be in level six out of seven atthe rigorous Indiana University Pre-College Ballet Program (Pre-CollegeIUBT).Nemes said her main passion in lifewas ballet. I love the feeling [dancingbrings] where happiness and energyerupts in your body and you can expressany emotion, she said. This feelingpropelled Nemes through her fourdifficult years at Pre-College IUBT. Shedealt with a packed schedule but hadher parents support throughout theprocess. You have to take it as itcomes, I have to be very organized withmy time.In addition to time constraints, Nemeshas felt the typical ballet inducedpressure to stay thin. When there aremirrors all around you and you areforced to look up to stick-thin dancers,there is a lot of pressure. You have tostay strong with yourself. Nemes stoodstrong and was accepted into AmericanBallet Theatres summer camp whichran for five weeks. She also planned onattending a similar camp at IndianaUniversity. Nemes hoped to become aprofessional ballerina and seemed verycapable of it.- ELEANORE FUQUA
