Some works run with these notions and use the intensity of ballet to highlight horrific or unsettling things. Maybe the heightened form of drama ballet brings and the high-stress environment surrounding it takes a toll on a ballerina's sanity, the physical requirements results in mutilation (especially Agony of the Feet), the Dream Ballet takes a scary or dramatic turn, or the art itself is directly tied to the supernatural. In particular, the ethereal visage of a graceful ballerina might be tied to something ghostly. Overall, there is a lot of storytelling mileage in the dichotomy between the feminine, delicate-looking performance and its darker underbelly.
