I read this short story in middle school and need help finding out the title. The story takes place in a dystopic society. Everyone is made equal. Beauty is shunned upon. There is a ballet couple. They dance in front of millions on the T.V. They are forced to wear masks to hide their beauty. They dance but with restriction. Later in the dance they break away from the rules of keeping their dance from being too expressive.
They both get shot down in the end for dancing freely.
What is the title of this short story?? please help!

I believe you're thinking of Harrison Bergeron.

As the previous answerer said, it is "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I was just thinking about this story the other day. Follow the link to read it online.
