Biological Ballerina

What really happens inside a dancer's body when she rises en pointe, lands a grand jeté, or holds a perfect arabesque? After over a decade of ballet training, Misshka began asking questions that went beyond technique. Why do muscles burn? Why does balance disappear on some days and feel effortless on others? What makes one movement powerful and another painfully difficult? Biological Ballerina uncovers the science behind ballet, breaking down classical movements into the anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics that power them. From muscle contractions and energy systems to balance, flexibility, and neural coordination, this book bridges the gap between art and science-revealing that every graceful performance is, at its core, a biological masterpiece. Perfect for dancers, students, and curious minds alike, Biological Ballerina transforms movement into something we can not only feel-but truly understand.
