The secret is out. After hiding for days undetected in a flight case backstage at English National Ballet in order to obtain this world exclusive photograph I can now reveal how English National Ballet store their dancers at night! I always wondered why nobody ever saw them leave by the stage door after the show. Now we know. They hang them up in the wings along with their costumes! They are all there like bats hanging. The only difference is they are not upside down.
I was horrified and appalled until I realised that the dancer pictured Desiree was smiling. It actually makes them happy. Amazing.
More secrets as and when I can bring them. Its a dangerous job but somebody has to do it.
