Honestly though, I think if I could see them or NYCB, I'd pick City Ballet every time. I love the "conventions of ballet." #thetrocks

I loved this quote when I came across it:
"The company is not trying, actually, to emulate females. It's a company of 15 male dancers who are (and) however you want to define the word male. . . but uh, the male dancer in Ballet is really known for an aggressive attack and that's how we try to approach these roles. So just because we're in a tutu doesn't mean we're not male and and doesn't mean that we're not expressing different kinds of masculinity. And that masculinity can be a really wide range." (Tory Dobrin, Artistic Director of the Trocks) #thetrocks

I remember learning Little Swans in a variations class... it is insanely hard to get through it without someone getting bruised. I always hold my breath when I see it done, waiting for someone to get kneed with an ill-timed passé. #thetrocks

I told her that that premise was as illogical and unlikely as saying the vast majority of female ballet dancers are gay. And while I grant that I was trying to annoy her, I do still think that she's wrong and that they can't all be gay. Are they? If so, I don't think that's fair, and I would like to know who to write a letter about it.

Lovely costume, but my ballet mistresses would have taken their sticks to that bent wrist.

Also, I love the Chorus line reference!
