I am not sure this applies to dancers per se, but it is food for thought.

Please Don’t Go

I agree. It is a shame we do not get to see more of our well-trained ballerinas, in favor of wonky-donk newcomers who lack sensitivity and artistry. 😦 I know everyone will be sad to see her retire.

Please Don’t Go.

272d Graduation Class of the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet

Really, what an institution. This and the Bolshoi, aside from the Paris Opera Ballet School and the Dutch National Ballet, are the longest running ballet schools in the world. I guess we all have something to learn from them. If you want people to take ballet seriously in the world, take it seriously in your own country!
