Outrage - Until I Catch Up on Blogging...

Until I catch up on posts (I keep saying I will...and really, it will happen some day....much to tell still about ABT super-ing, Austria plans cancelled, a few reviews, upcoming performances in August, and more)...but...

If you haven't already, please read this (outrageous) report from Bloomberg about NYCB's 2008 salaries.

And then read the new NYTimes article about those 11 laid of NYCB corps de ballet dancers.

AND THEN read some of the comments on the NYTimes blog asking, "What advice would you give to a young unemployed dancer?"

I have oh so MUCH to say about this but haven't the time right now. For a preview you can see I've been going off a bit on Twitter, where I first found that Bloomberg article.

Happy Friday. More to come...

I can't believe how insensitive some of those comments are. Obviously, those were left by people who have no idea what dance is all about, and how it gets under a person's skin, especially professional dancers.
