space invaders

different cultures have different ideas about personal space.

every day in ballet i go to my (self-assigned) space at the barre - a sweet spot in the corner of two mirrors, allowing me to better see and correct myself

and then one of two girls will inevitably come to the barre that meets mine in the corner,
and stand way too close. when the combination requires us to move away from the barre, do a grande rond de jambe or a battement in seconde, there is always a clash. is it because one of them is from canada?

i was there first, barre space invader!
