[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It rubs me the wrong way to hear posters complain about Kent’s compensation. Good for her. Plenty over paid blowhard male directors out there. Glad for ladies to have a turn.[/quote]

I remember Julie Kent. She was a dancer and in the movie Center Stage! When did she transition into managing ballet companies?[/quote]

When she got the job at The Washington Ballet.[/quote]

Wow, so she had never run a company or school before and they gave her the job? [/quote]

Yes- that is correct. And the HOS that Kent hires had also never run a school, or trained anyone for that matter. [/quote]

So was it just a vanity hire? Makes no sense to put someone in charge who has dance skills but no business or managerial experience.[/quote]

Exactly. Anyone with half a brain would know better. The leadership is destroying the company and school, and it’s such a loss for the area. WSB was once a beacon of dance training and performing, and it’s now a mismanaged disaster.[/quote]
