A lot of people insisted on a wall between modern dance and ballet. I'm beginning to think that walls are very unhealthy things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.
Most dancers have no awareness of how they look; half of them think they're fat. There is anorexia in the ballet world; there are those things.
Dancing is a very healthy thing to do for our body.
Yes, bad or mediocre ballets can be useful to the dancers and temporarily fun for the audience, but in the long run, the lowering of standards can only erode the art form we all love.
I find that dancers are only well trained in ballet these days.
The eternal and uneasy relationship between ballet and modern dance endures, but radically altered in tone and intensity.
I think all dancers are control freaks a bit. We just want to be in control of ourselves and our bodies. That's just what the ballet structure, I think, kind of puts inside of you.
Ballet is like any other art form in that we all start out knowing nothing about it.
Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.
When I was a dancer, I would see that dancers were treated like garbage. I mean like, like extras.
