Thread Name: BS: Is Ballet Dancing Rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Ballet Dancing Rubbish?
Last time I attended a ballet was in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Martinsburg is a small, blue collar, working-class town in a mostly rural, mountainous, working-class, coal-mining state. It was at the community theater. The dancers were from dancing schools in that town and some nearby towns. The dancing, while hardly world class quality, was nevertheless very satisfying to watch. And I think the dancers quite enjoyed what they were doing. I got in for free because I was dating one of the technical directors, but I think the tickets probably cost only a few dollars (US) more than movie tickets.
