So the ballet community’s RAGING with Kendall Jenner over this shoot
She may be one of 2016’s biggest stars, but that doesn’t mean everyone is a fan of Kendall Jenner’s work.
The 20-year-old model has enraged members of the ballet community with her latest shoot for Vogue Spain as it shows her posing in a tutu, pointe shoes, leotard and leg warmers, something which many dancers find “disrespectful”.
Dance Spirit has claimed that the images and accompanying video of Kendall trying to “do ballet” are “pretty disrespectful to the artists who devote their lives to this demanding craft”.
“This makes us especially sad because the Vogue family is usually SO GREAT when it comes to ballet. They feature beautiful dancers all the time,” they continued.
The video – which has 8.6 million views on Kendall’s Instagram page – shows the popular reality star acting playfully in a dance studio as she describes how she loves “being a kid” and “being super adventurous”.
Twitter is even less impressed with this set-up than Dance Spirit, with users writing: “How dare Vogue Spain make a video with Kendall Jenner attempting ballet. That’s BS. USE REAL DANCERS FOR THAT.”
And: “If you go into a ballet class lookin like Kendall Jenner in her new photos you WILL get kicked out (sic).”

Ballet dancers don't train 7+ hours a day, 7days a week, to be represented by Kendall Jenner & her dodgy feet….

Kendall Jenner pretending she knows anything about ballet is truly the most offensive thing of 2016…

We've a feeling this drama isn't going away any time soon.
