One of the hardest lifts in classical ballet partnering is the angel lift. It's the job of the gentleman to make the ballerina appear weightless and, as the name demands, look like a flying angel. Not only does it require an impressive amount of strength from the man, but also the ballerina must hold her body in just the right position so he can find her center of balance.
