This time in the studio shapes their lives, instilling lessons about gender, power, bodies, and their place in the world both in and outside of dance. In Turning Pointe, journalist Chloe Angyal captures the intense love for ballet that so many dancers feel, while also grappling with its devastating shortcomings: the power imbalance of an art form performed mostly by women, but dominated by men; the impossible standards of beauty and thinness; and the racism that keeps so many people of color out of ballet. As the rigid traditions of ballet grow increasingly out of step with the modern world, a new generation of dancers is confronting these issues head on, in the studio and on stage. For ballet to survive the twenty-first century and forge a path into a more socially just future, this reckoning is essential. 541 $d 20240403. 941 $a 1 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240416010850.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B5CBFEAAFBB611EE91A57D0E3AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
