Sustaining Ballet in a Pandemic (an opinion piece)

[The Traveling Ballerina]

As always, thank you for sharing your insightful and well-written articles.  This one in particular, hit the nail on the head with the way I am feeling.  Personally, I would much rather see (and pay for) performances from the company vaults or dancers performing existing works, than avante-garde videos of new works being performed in apartments or various locations.  Perhaps I am old fashioned in my taste in ballets, but it is what I prefer.  I do love getting to peek behind the curtain into some of my favorite dancers' lives, but often what they share on social media eliminates the mystery for me.
