Ballet To The People
Starts with a plié
Who we are
Manifesto
No suffering for your art No despotic teachers No evil, manipulative stage mothers No tutus oozing blood No battered feet No Coke-and-cigarettes diets No one sitting on your shoulders to force your split No descents into madness as you struggle to wring out one more fouetté turn Just a safe and well-lit place to unravel the mysteries of ballet and play with the building blocks of technique A place where dancers come in all shapes and sizes A place where it is okay to fail repeatedly in the process of mastery A slightly dangerous place where around the next corner may lie unfamiliar and entertaining challenges, both physical and mental A place that you walk out of feeling a little taller, a little lighter on your feet, very centered, and a little closer to possessing that mysterious power that turns maidens into swans and nutcrackers into princes
