Genderfluid dancer in PNB Professional Division classes
Balletwannabe replied to sandik's topic in Pacific Northwest Ballet
I don't think people are drawn to this because of gender, but simply because it's something "new", and media likes to make a big deal out of "innovation" in art. But really there's nothing special here (any more than any other talented dancer). If males wanted to train their bodies to have lean muscles to look more feminine, they could. But they're busy lifting weights to be able to gracefully lift females over their heads. Can they do both? Maybe...but focusing in on either traditional male or female roles exclusively will only make you better in those roles. Hope I didn't say anyth -

Ok thank you hopefully I get an email about this. After I saw her in Mozartiana I was looking forward to seeing her more; I'd love to see her last performance. -

Hi- maybe someone can answer this for me. How do I purchase a ticket to Maria Kowroski's farewell performance? It wasn't an option when I purchased a subscription. Will this only be available when single tickets go on sale? Or was it sold out already? Thank you. -
If you have a daughter who's a female ballet student you see Kathryn Morgan's video in a different light. These body conversations are 100% necessary. Never before have ballet students had to grow up with a constant barrage of images and videos on social media of "instafamous" young dancers who showcase everything they're not. If you could hear the chatter in ballet studios..these girls are never happy with themselves. Everything they do is not good enough (to them). Kathryn Morgan is a godsend for these girls.

Interesting to read everyone's reviews; here and elsewhere: https://aballeteducation.com/2020/05/12/abts-together-tonight/

I'm so sorry. I have young children. I would be mortified if my kids were acting up and would leave immediately if they were causing a distraction. The worst thing I've done at the Koch is accidentally dropped an empty bottle of soda from the top row and it very loudly toppled down while the person sitting next to be started giggling. It was during a very quiet moment of the ballet and I was so embarrassed.

She doesn't have to answer for it. She's not required to regulate other people's emotions.

At our local company someone left the performance of The Little Mermaid because they thought it would be a musical based on the Disney movie 🙄. Some people are just completely clueless.

Um, how cute is this human being. I want a leotard and I don't even dance.
