FRANCE — Full house: A Ukrainian dancer of the Kyiv City Ballet company waited backstage during a performance at the Théâtre du Châtelet, in Paris, on Tuesday.

They described being physically and emotionally exhausted. Being given the opportunity to train and dance was, for many, a chance to focus on something other than the war.
