The Arts & Music section of today’s Los Angeles Times takes a look at the growing popularity of Internet publicity among dancers and dance companies.
The YouTube video that seems to have prompted the article:
The connection between the video above and the rest of the article is, to me, a little fuzzy. Overall, though, the article is pretty neat. Especially cool is that Looseleaf recognizes certain notables, including Daniil Simkin, Rolando Sarabia, Anaheim Ballet, Grover Dale’s Answers4Dancers and, of course, New York City Ballet’s website and YouTube channel. (Congrats, Kristin!)
The full text of the article follows below for anyone who might be interested. Take a read!
My favourite quote: Asked what company co-founder and choreographer George Balanchine would have thought about the Internet, [NYCB’s General Manager Ken] Tabachnick replies, “He was an innovator. Balanchine loved change and didn’t shy away from new things. I imagine he would have loved it.”

Last month I wrote a guest post on Matt Gough’s blog quodlibet titled math skills. It addressed the question of what fundamentals of physics and mathematics should be included in the dance technology curriculum.
Since dance-tech is in its infancy and still forming as a field this is an open question. This issue is not simply about inserting math and science into an arts curriculum but more so about how these two worlds partner. The action is reciprocal, math and science inform the dance and dance-tech provides new ways of knowing math and physics.
Force is one of the central landmarks of physics pedagogy. Gravity is Newton’s force.
And to use the force you must learn the force.
Simulation is a great way to learn about forces.
So is dancing.

After the September issue of Dance Spirit Magazine came out, focused largely on balancing college with a dance career, I thought it necessary to share my side of the story. Today there is so much of a pressure on young dancers graduating from high school: do we follow our dream and attempt to make a career from ballet, or do we follow a more conventional path to college, perhaps setting a dance career to the side or deferring it to a later date.
When I was at this point in my life (not long ago), nobody told me it was possible to have both. I had to find that out on my own the hard way. It’s been worth the effort, though, and I decided to share my story with the editors at Dance Spirit Magazine.
They printed a portion of my letter in the new November issue of the magazine. Buy it and turn to page 38…I’m there!
The part about Ajkun Ballet Theater is no longer valid (it was the plan at the time I wrote this, though), but many other things have taken the place of that (internship at Quick & Simple, Nutcracker with the company in CT…).
Anyways, I thought I’d share that. I’m off to do lots of work for midterms this week….

I’ve been feeling a little like a second class reader… I just can’t get to the section I’m want without multiple clicks!
dance…? where are you?
I’m sure there is a valid reason… perhaps there aren’t enough new articles going up (a whole other issue)… or maybe the section gets a lot less traffic than the other categories (could have something to do with the first reason). “Art & Design” is omitted on the home page as well. Hmph. Seems like it could be sending a subliminal message to readers that dance (as well as design ??) is less relevant than other art forms. No?
there they are…
Also… No RSS FEED devoted to DANCE. The best we can get is an all-inclusive ARTS feed.
Should we start a petition?
Who would we have to talk to… Alistair Macauley? Or perhaps all the way to Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr, ?
An inside source tells me it might be Khoi Vin…
