I'm a hoofer and ...anonymous is absolutely correct. I'm a hoofer and give lectures on the history of tap. Bill Robinson TAUGHT critics how to critique by drawing attention in a new way - to his feet. Fred Astaire taught filmmakers how to shoot scenes - long shots only - to help evolve the way tap is received. <BR/><BR/>Print is out, blogging is in, and you are the perfect candidate to effect change.

It's in trouble enough as it is, and many don't wish to point out the problems for fear of...whatever.<BR/><BR/>I don't know that we, or I, as a blogger have that kind of power just yet to voice these kinds of concerns to people who matter.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, annonymous, Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408803264438733725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500023640809825094.post-17717329313038779342008-06-06T08:32:00.000-04:002008-06-06T08:32:00.000-04:00Why why why didn't you take the opportunity to pin...Why why why didn't you take the opportunity to pin point Miss ABT about the ridiculousness of the archaic stereotypes since you live it every day???? Having "pretty feet" does not make a dancer and since you all (bloggers, critics) seem to know it why do you allow it to continue. You as bloggers/critics have the "voice" of the art and it is your responsibility to speak for those that can't.

To be honest, I love ABT but does the public really want all those classics and only those classics? Where are they getting that from? Surveys? Seriously, where did she get that from?

Once things wind down later this month let's plan something.<BR/><BR/>And Roy, I've always had issues with stereotypes in dance. Why must we base certain things on just how a person looks? It's frustrating, haha.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408803264438733725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500023640809825094.post-85606552113980798672008-06-05T22:10:00.000-04:002008-06-05T22:10:00.000-04:00Way to go, Taylor!
