If it wasn’t for a serious ankle injury in the past, we may not of ever have enjoyed Summer Glau in her sci-fi roles. The 27-year-old used to [train for ballet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-rift-black-swan) when she was in her school years, but the injury stopped her from pursuing dance as a career. Even though she won’t be dancing professionally, Glau still loves to [dance for her own enjoyment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-convention), and as you can see from the photos, is as flexible as ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sci-fi Crossovers in Photography:** Opportunity to combine sci-fi elements with photography to create unique and visually stunning images. - **Reinvigorating Dance for Personal Enjoyment:** Potential for embracing dance as a form of self-expression and personal fulfillment. - **Celebrating Non-traditional Body Types in Glamour:** Opportunity to showcase diverse beauty standards and challenge traditional notions of glamour. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Explore incorporating elements of sci-fi in photography to attract a niche market. - **Recreational Dance:** Create innovative platforms and experiences that encourage individuals to pursue dance for personal fulfillment. - **Glamour and Fashion:** Promote inclusivity and diversity in glamour and fashion industry by featuring non-traditional body types. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gory Anime Trailer Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terminator-zero.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Altheticwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/en-pointe-collection.md) - [Singer-Collaborative Activewear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-is-art.md) - [2000s TV Series Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/21seeds-serving-summer-campaign.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-3.md) - [Balletcore Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkinetic-fluent-1.md) - [Choreographed Retailer-Backed Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-parker-posey.md) - [Gracefully Dynamic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-tower.md) - [CG Technology Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cg-technology-art-exhbition.md)
