Allegro Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 A lovely topic, but I was wondering... Has anyone, in their perhaps extensive careers as dancers or otherwise, come across these acts (or other) of cruelty in the ballet world? I would just be interested in any stories. Not that I am contemplating something bad, but I was just curous. How desperate can dancers get? Link to comment
