nice turnout
The Nutcracker is a shit ballet, only natural it's the most popular one
Anyway looks pretty generic, I'd rather just watch the Bunheads episode where they try to do Nutcracker after all of the performers get maced
She was originally a ballerina turned actress
I'd let her crack my nuts if you know what I mean
>no people of colour
I thought you guys said that tv companies were in full-on SJW pandering? What gives?
Assuming that little girl is of legal age to the country of the authorities who may read this, I want to destroy her and give her a prolapse
How interesting, and which country do you reside in sir?
I myself am a supple young impressionable and so it'd be great if we could exchange 'deets'
Where do you reside?
maybe they're trying to show the ballet world realistically, it's 99% white
That was a beautiful episode
...
yfw Christmas is canceled
Why can't Amy Acker get any big roles?
only because they only ever depict white ballerinas so young black and asian girls don't think they can ever be ballerinas
there are many asian ballerinas
Yes
i wonder if there's some ballbusting porn with ballerina and nutcracker name
child slaves is not an ideal we want to strive towards
black girls generally don't have the body type for ballet, don't see any reason why we should pretend they do
of course there are always exceptions like Misty Copeland, although she isn't nearly as great as people pretend she is just because she's a "POC"
girls from africa can have the body type
Yeah but not in the USA, they were bred out. American blacks are usually thick as hell
As for Africa, they have bigger problems than the lack of ballerinas

>implying Misty Copeland has the body type
Misty Copeland does not have the "body type" for ballet, which one of the reasons why her successfully reaching principal at ABT is surprising.
She doesn't have the "perfect body type" but it's not unacceptable either. If it was she wouldn't have even made it into the corp
they can just go join alvin ailey
She made it into the corp before she entered puberty so it wasn't an issue at that point. She had puberty hormonally induced after a serious stress fracture to help strengthen her bones. This resulted in larger hips/breasts/ass, which made her insecure and anxious because she suddenly had to get special costumes to cover her breasts, she stood out too much, etc, and she began struggling with her dancing (and binge eating) because of the insecurity it caused. To the company's credit, they found several people with similar experiences and asked them to mentor Misty to get her confidence back up. It worked, and the rest of the story goes from there
I enjoy her dancing but I think they promoted her to principal too soon. ABT's Sleeping Beauty came to Detroit earlier this year and the rumor was initially she was she going to dance as Aurora and I was worried I would end up seeing her (no way she would have managed the Rose Adagio) but she was Princess Florine instead, which she did well in--she has a charismatic, bubbly style which works well, but no way she would have been able to dance Aurora.
The Hallmark Channel is great in that aspect. It's all about pretty young, god-fearing white women celebrating various holidays (usually it's Christmas, but not always) and finding love with a strong white male who is never portrayed as an abusive, controlling dick unlike Lifetime.
interesting, I've heard about the delayed puberty problem among dancers
Anyway she's a good dancer but hardly on the same level as other principals, even other soloists. I can't help but suspect her being black is the reason she is so acclaimed. People seem to grade on a curve where she is concerned
They know their demographic. People who care about diversity and representation aren't watching the Hallmark channel, it's mostly middle-aged, middle-American whites who miss the good old days. That's why so much of their programming consists of old sitcoms and comfy small-town shows like Good Witch
How do I into ballet?
Go to a ballet, or start watching it on youtube. Honestly for me it's just a very relaxing, beautiful experience and I think ballet dancers are the most athletically impressive people in the world. The combination of that with classical music just makes me feel good.
