*Sorry, i'm just going to rant for a bit and may or may not make sense...
So, last night my bet friend and i saw The Nutcracker, danced by the ballet company i grew up dancing in in NM. It was *awful*!
I'm so disappointed!! I understand that this year they have a small group of girls and that they're not very good, but come on! I know that talent and technique can ebb and flow, but they haven't had a good group of dancers since me and my friends were there. I'm sorry to sound conceited, but it's true. My dance teacher has even said so much.
But here's the thing; this group of 'dancers' is the tail end of the girls that were growing up while my other dance teacher (the wife of the husband/wife team) was diagnosed, treated and eventually passed away from ovarian cancer.
So i understand that they didn't have the energy or patience to put in to these girls dance education for the past few years.
And now they're trying to distract us from the fact that they can't dance by adding gimmicks, and it just makes no sense and it's making me angry.
And i think the audience feel the same way about the gimmicks cuz they weren't very responsive.
I worry that it's starting to become the laughing stock of the holiday season here in my hometown.
But they'll always have audience members cuz it's The Nutcracker and cuz parents will always pay money to see their kids dance on stage, no matter how bad they are.
I told my best friend last night that my brain is angry and my heart is sad. ![]()
