More problems at New York City Ballet

Yes I got that.  But implicitly, if they have decided that these men don’t merit their contracts being terminated instead of suspended, they are saying that their actions are acceptable and that it’s fine to return them to dance in a company that they have dishonoured and tainted.  I wonder what you have to do to get fairly fired at NYCB?

I admire the subtle way you have left it to us all to draw the obvious comparison. Nice one!

Yep.

Not to mention, that it also implies that the right of the female dancers to have a safe, dignified work environment is not a priority for AGMA if it gets in the way of the career of any man causing their distress.

Interesting to see Ramasar already back in the mix - & with an old stomping partner in Mearns (see Sat Mat casting in final movement of BSQ.)  Wonderful to at last see Danchig-Waring  back in full throttle.  Let's pray it can last a little longer this time.  He (and we) deserve it.

I get the distinct impression that the entire industry regards female dancers as a disposble commodity.
