She had what the Councillor knew, in the technical language of the ballet, as "ballon", a lightness that is not only the negation of weight, but which actually seems to carry upwards and make for flight, and which is rarely found in thin dancers – as if the matter itself had here become lighter than air, so that the more there is of it the better it works.
