It's no coincidence that Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid" has been made into a ballet so many times...
"Each step she took was, as the Witch had told her, as if she had been treading on pointed needles and knives, but she bore it gladly. At the Prince’s right hand she moved on, light as a soap-bubble, and he, like all the rest, was astonished at her graceful, swaying movements."
BTW this is my favourite children's story...
