Author Douglas Murray says a UK dance school scrapping ballet over its “elitist” and “white” art form is sadly a totally normal story in today’s world. Leeds-based Northern School of Contemporary Dance has scrapped ballet from its school-entry auditions after reviewing the technical dance as “elitist” and rooted in “white European ideas”.
“Yes … if there’s one remaining really patriarchal horribly heterosexual business in the world – it’s ballet,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.“This is a sadly totally normal story in our time where places which are the least likely places to have any bigotry of any kind, a dance school say, suddenly self implodes and self-immolates because it seems to think it’s some kind of centre of bigotry and prejudice.
DouglasKMurray I guess nowadays when something takes years of disciplined practice to master, which god forbid we strive for, you just call it sexist/racist and declare the thing everyone can be good at the new cultural epitome. Can't wait for a Wagner Oprah with only people twerking.
