Comment on Should your studio abolish the “free trial”? by Rachel

Love it! We do offer $10 trials but I really like the idea of the Introductory class or package, much more inviting and with a package, really gives the child and the family a chance to experience a lot of what the studio has to offer. I will be giving this a go, thanks!

Is this no longer available? I have downloaded the app but my students can seem to find my class on the site. I am confused. And the website provided above no longer works?

Comment on Is that Dance? A writer’s response to recent dance trends by Peter Kalivas

I guess we all our own ways of reading this article as well as reading dance? This writer is for me completely fair to state his experiential relation with a part of dance that exists. He is not denying or alienating for all of us just for himself the moment he authored and signed his name to it rather then anonymously. I don’t recall him describing a desire to be entertained so readers make assumptions about what he means go quickly off track right. Others, who read the article and feel perhaps you are included in the category to which he is referring not to worry he won’t be attending your “show”. So, what. Keep doing what you feel and believe is right for yourself and what the field has provided for all of us which is to determine all the varied ways in which we define dance. I would be intrigued to understand however how some dancers who do nothing but roll around a bit as a general description of the kind of dance in question train and then if avoiding spectacle, pretense, entertainment then go about justifying producing a concert or show, charging the public to purchase a ticket. What is it then, and what economic practice is it participating in while it works so hard not to participate in spectacle, trivialities of technical accomplishments that yes too are attached to other value systems. The expectations this writer is describing about dance is learned just like much of the population. Like everything else in life someone shows you something for the first time and tells you what it is and why. Then, when you encounter things that challenge those ideals it gets a bit confusing perhaps. This is quite real and fair but certainly no cause to get that upset. To each his own. Also, so what if he uses fancy old english words slightly out of context. Seemed to get you all going anyway. Live long and prosper people.

Comment on Is that Dance? A writer’s response to recent dance trends by John

This article articulates much of what I feel with some (not all) modern dance.
My personal bete noir is the performance where one or more dancers gives birth on stage to the accompaniment of white noise. Therapy is one thing. Dance is another. Good dance can be therapy!
