Alot of these sexually provocative and vulgar dance moves began infecting traditional.ballet as well as modern dance in the last few years. The homosexual influence in choreography is now full bore, at least in NYC. I wonder if the DC dance scene underwent the same transformation (by transformers, get it?) while Alefantis' dear friend Septime Weber was director of the Washington ballet. Weber was credited for introducing the youth corps to the DC ballet. What a great way to surround yourself with vulnerable teenage boys who dance shirtless with tights during practice.
