In current times, our moral uproar is best reserved for those who aspire to stone men or women to death, not those who consensually watch women - or men, for that matter - dance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.
And, of course, they've always condemned dancing. You know, you might touch a member of the opposite sex. And you might get excited and you might do something natural.
I realize that dancers have worked long and hard for standards. However, on occasion, I think that it's good to examine one's heart and ask why are we dancing.
Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
Dance, to me, is an expression of who we are.
Every man should follow the bent of his nature in art and letters, always provided that he does not offend against the rules of morality and good taste.
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.
With dancing, so much is about sexuality and sensuality and without life experience it becomes much more of a performance, rather than a living, breathing entity from the soul.
I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.
