If you ever have ninety minutes to spare, spend them watching "Etoiles: Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet, Class, Rehearsals and Snapshots". Nils Tavernier spent three months in 1999 filming the ballet company, and has created one of the most beguiling documentaries I've ever seen. I wasn't expecting to love it, but there was something about these dancer's lives, the disciplined austerity contrasted with the glamour and prestige of their careers that did it for me.
