Northern School of Contemporary Dance reviews ballet art form as part of a diversity drive

TELEGRAPH — Ballet has been dropped from auditions at a leading dance school as staff say it is rooted in “white European ideas”.
The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD), which aims to be a “progressive institution”, has reviewed the “elitist” art form as part of a diversity drive that has seen the introduction of new policies relating to gender and race.
Ballet has been ditched as a requirement for school-entry auditions because of its “contentious nature”, with teaching staff explaining that the traditional mode of dance comes with the baggage of “white European ideas”.
The centuries-old art form was seen as being a barrier to inclusion because of the exclusionary financial burden of taking classes, and also because of its idealising of certain European body shapes, and division of roles along gender lines. […]
The standard of high level culture was established by Europeans in science, literature, music, architecture, and yes dance by at least a two hundred years ago. To see these accomplishments falling like dominoes with no counter attack, leads me to believe the saboteurs of this once high culture are knuckle dragging, beetle-browed Marxists. And that white people have become lazy, dumbed down cretins whose end will be without a whimper.
It’s brilliant how any acknowledged characteristic of male or female or race is deemed an aspect of ‘istism’ that drives the God-hating insistence of ‘unconditional equality’ among what used to be an almost blasé realization of difference & distinction among human types with little if any animosity.
‘Diversity & inclusiveness’ are code words for ‘noncolored people’s’ non existence’.
So audition the crotch grabbers & big butt waggers & see how the degradation ‘dance’ brings in the moolah.
