[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Can’t enjoy ballet as an art because of how much torture of girls is involved. My best friend growing up was in the New York City ballet company. She couldn’t move up because her body was a more muscular type though she was petite. I remember being In 7th grade and her mom counting out grapes for snack. Never put my girls in ballet for that reason. It’s sick.[/quote] There is a concentrated effort by the industry to move away from that. Actually only these pillars of historical ballet and competition dance hang on to this nonsense. You can enjoy dance as an art form with condoning this torture. Look at Mandy Moore's work on Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist. Incredible dancers of a body types. [/quote] There's been a little, but the ballet industry is ripe for its own reckoning a la #metoo. The abuse is there for all to see, yet it's allowed to persist.[/quote]
