An abstract sculpture made of steel rod bent to form the figure of a ballerina dressed in a tutu. Her head moves freely on her upper torso, which itself moves freely over her lower torso. Her tutu also moves freely. She stands in a ballet position with her weight on her proper left leg, foot turned out, and her proper right leg crossed behind her, toe extended. Both her proper right foot and her proper left toe are bolted to the steel plate base. Her arms are extended slightly back and away from her torso. The sculpture is painted white.
