I'd Studied Dance In Chicago Every Summer

She's One Of Those Third Year Girls Who Gripe My Liver... You Know, American College Kids. They Come Over Here To Take Their Third Year And Lap Up A Little Culture... They're Officious And Dull. They're Always Making Profound Observations They've Overheard.

I Saw Mikhail Baryshnikov Do Twyla Tharp's Sinatra Suite On Pbs. I Have No Numbers To Prove It, But I Bet That Kids Who Saw That Loved It. I Think You Will See Younger Dancers, Who Certainly Have The Artistic Sense And Capabilities, Start Going Back To Romantic Numbers.

I Miss The Romance. I Keep Saying This Over And Over Again, But Dance Follows Music. And If The Accent Today Is Percussion And Rhythm And Loudness, Then That Is The Way The Dance Numbers Will Be. But It Is Pretty Hard On Romance With Seven Guitars, Three Drums, And No Melody Instruments In The Band.

First Of All, Break-dancing Has Been Done For Years, Though Not All Of It Put Together The Way It Is Now. But, Actually, The Distinctions Have Been Blurring Since The 1950s.
