Even if people don’t take ballet into their future, taking classes while young creates limber and graceful people.

I guess in 2022 the stripper poll is the current thing.

Ballet is a “white European idea”, but its a highly specific one. Ballet as we know it is quite a recent invention as cultures go. It goes back to the origins of opera as a form of court music, which was sometimes enhanced by dance. It is, like opera, something that grew out of entertainment fads in the royal courts of Europe. It is about as upper class in origin as anything can be - its true origin is usually given as the elaborate entertainments given at the court of Louis XIV, in which he often participated himself. The whole thing went from royal court to royal court, until it came under the Tsars patronage in Russia, where it it became what we know today. It was a thing of Kings and Emperors.

I guess these “woke” morons have never heard of Lauren Anderson who was the prima ballerina of the Houston Ballet for several years.

I got to see her perform a few times. It really was poetry in motion.

“Can you picture Stacy Abrams in a tutu?”

Yeah, the dancing hippos scene in FANTASIA.

[Allegra]

Gross. What a self-absorbed piece of trash.

Twerking looks like a body is possessed by something evil.

[Texan5]

She certainly could have multiple personality disorder-or she could just be an ordinary schizophrenic-either way, maybe someone should come and take her away, haha to the funny farm...

This looks like the early 20th century version of "twerking."

If you don’t wanna teach ballet, then DON’T TEACH IT.

Plenty of other institutions will.

Waiting for the “POC Only” drinking-fountains. White is the New Black.

I've been saying it for five years now, only I am more blunt about it: White is the New Nigger.

[Lazamataz]

Wow! Sorry about what happened to her face! Hope it heals up soon!

[central_va]

So dated. It will be “BIPOC Only” fountains.

[windsorknot]

That is blunt, but to the point.

[Allegra]

“Marrying my wonderful wife and recently adopting our two little boys, has made me even more acutely aware of the challenges experienced by young people today. We are faced with a number of social, economic and environmental challenges which are felt as an immense pressure by many young people.”

They sure manage to make everything about their perverted, loser selves, don’t they?

[moovova]

Nothing wrong with redneck reasoning. It contains a lot of gut instinct and common sense. We see thru their BS and recognize the truth in a situation.

Classical ballet is a discipline. If you go through the training you can use it to create your own pieces, which can be as “non-binary” as you like.

Never met an LGBT that wasn’t a self absorbed raging narcissist

[Exit148]

NO!

[Jane Long]

Maybe in addition to not having orthodontists, they don't have dentists, or toothpaste, either. 😱

[Bernard Marx]

Can you picture Stacy Abrams in a tutu?

Only in a muumuu

[DJ MacWoW]

They've never heard of Misty Copeland? The lead ballerina of the American Ballet Theater? The Black lead ballerina? That grewup in a motel room with 5 siblings? Hmmmm.
