DANCE

Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker, best known for his blistering speed and bruising bursts through defensive lines, tippy-toed through his ballet debut Sunday in Fort Worth, Tex. The Heisman Trophy winner took part in “Webern Pieces,” a modern ballet performed with the Fort Worth company’s principal dancers, Maria Terezia Balogh and Joseph Malbrough. Walker and Malbrough ended the piece in the three-point stance that Walker uses while in the Cowboys’ backfield. During the 25-minute performance, the 223-pound Walker, appearing shirt-less, often stood still or slowly walked through a series of moves with Balogh.
