    I think the fact that the first girl has arthritis really says a lot. She's already in pain from normal things and then add on the pain from dance and shes still okay and doing what she loves. I'm 13 and I have fibromaylgia and I love dance and it's one of my dreams so for me this is super inspiring

    • @LanaW123
      @LanaW123 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Sara Shepard it is like this every where I think. When she said without artistry you can not be a ballerina, she meant a Ballerina ( capital B) in a larger scale not just on the stage .
      The audience will notice who is this talented artistic inspired and inspiring dancer and who is promoted by a director.....and it is not fair that even me, not a dancer can notice this and think how on earth was she promoted.....politics....not fair.

    Didn't Chase Finlay share explicit photos of his girlfriend without her consent and knowledge! Also, "Amar Ramasar was accused of sending Chase Finlay explicit photos of a corps de ballet dancer and encouraging Mr. Finlay to send him images of Ms. Waterbury. Zachary Catazaro was accused of sending Mr. Finlay intimate photos of a former School of American Ballet student." The New York Times.

    It's also about quality of life..and understanding that that is what the goal is inspite of the show and understanding the parameters of the show, of time and articulation or your joints....how does an orchestra do it or used to do it....so even your own makeup you should be doing....and the makeup artist does the very last inspection or just your eyeshadow...I know...but then again how to keep the plaques from spreading and reappearing on your skin besides not sweating as much....

      Institutions like the NYC Ballet take SO long to change (both in terms of access and image-- the people at the top are there for life and the culture can be very insular). Keep supporting companies and artists you want to see. Keep demanding that diversity becomes the norm (not the exception) and supporting programs that encourage access to the arts.
