Nine Month Pregnant Ballerina Documents Her Pregnancy In Graceful Photo Series





Ballerina Mary Helen Bowers, who is nine months pregnant, has been documenting her pregnancy and dancing skills through a series of graceful photos on Instagram.



Bowers has been dancing since she was 15, when she was accepted to the School of American Ballet in Manhattan on a full scholarship. She joined the New York City Ballet a year later, where she stayed for 10 years.



She conducts a fitness program called Ballet Beautiful at her SoHo studio that helps women achieve a graceful ballerina’s figure.



Amazingly, Bowers manages to execute splits and balance on pointe shoes on one leg throughout her pregnancy.



Check out her photos below.
