Linked above is The Dance Class. You should also check out The Rehearsal of the Ballet Onstage, as well as this article by The Crossroads Gazette: Edgar Degas: The Good, the Bad, and the Ballet. It revealed a lot of disturbing stuff about the paintings and Degas himself, but I thought it was interesting to read nonetheless.
sketches by Ingres he would do before painting over them,, I just love the style of the extremely detailed faces and very sketchy clothes

never a bad vibe, so catchy and instantly makes my day better.
feeling low energy? vroom vroom.
feeling sentimental? track 10.
wanna dance? club classics.

i love to be with my pals and experience the phases of the evening— dinner, sweet treat, dancing, pizza, chatting, video games, about to crash. it feels so wonderful to experience the whole gambit and then part ways.
