I've got a hairy chest, for one thing. I don't have a huge ballet technique - my legs don't go that high. But you don't have to have those things. You have to dance and act well. You have to have an intense intention. You're in frilly pants, no top on, and you have a stripe down your nose, and you've got to convince the audience you're a swan.
