Britain’s Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD) because it is “built around white European ideas” and is too “gendered”.
The school has dropped ballet from its auditions process because of its “potentially contentious nature”, according to The Telegraph.
“It is essentially an elitist form. Young people need to pay to take ballet classes as a general rule and for a vast number of potential students, they’ve not had access to ballet,” explained the head of undergraduate studies at the dance school, Francesca McCarthy, in comments to the notionally right-leaning newspaper.
“It is a very specific form that is built around particular white European ideas and body shapes that are often alienating to young people who do not fit that aesthetic ideal,” she asserted.
“There are issues relating to body, money, language and movement vocabulary.”
McCarthy also complained that ballet “has strongly gendered roots in terms of the movement vocabulary,” referencing the fact that “most of [the NSCD’s] ballet staff were trained at a time where divisions in the teaching of ballet were clear and men lifted women.”
She conceded that over time there was “a shift”, but insisted that the status quo is “still problematic in relation to [the] inclusion of non-binary and trans dancers.”
Gendered language in ballet is also supposed to be an issue, with The Telegraph noting concerns about the fact that their is a clear division between female ballerinas and male danseurs in ballet.
Implicit gender roles and gendered language is evidently a matter of great concern to the NSCD, with McCarthy saying that the use of gender-neutral terms like “dancers/people/folk/everyone/everybody” are encouraged and efforts made to “try and embed the use of they in terms of pronouns in order to not make assumptions about a dancer’s identity”.

Classes in “Shaking your ass like a whore” will continue.
Less ballet, more shuckin, jivin’ and twerking.
Yeah they’re replacing ballet with filthy obscene twerking classes.
Democrat Tiara Mack will be giving classes
Ah crap.... You owe me a new laptop. Just spit beer out all over mine.
Can you picture Stacy Abrams in a tutu?
movement vocabulary- ebonical movement vocabulary?
Time for the paying white customers to drop this woke outfit.
ROFL
Walking with the ball 360 slam dunk gendered movement vocabulary is ok.
Walking around grabbing ones crotch movement vocabulary is ok.
So don’t worry.
I’d argue those are tribal in origin. Same argument against ballet. Except ballet is a refined dance where twerking resembles what you see on nature shows when animals try to mate.
I’m 72 and don’t have many years left, but I’ll probably still be alive when they make it a crime to be white.
Imagine this” Twerking is a very specific form that is built around black African ideas and body shapes that are often alienating to young people who do not fit that aesthetic ideal”
No ballet?
Might as well put a padlock on the chain on the front door.
This reminds me in a strange connection way to something that
happened to my wife and I in the early 2000s.
She had a nice friend who offered her some tickets to a
music presentation that was going to be at Cal Tech.
We went mainly to show some support for her friend, not
knowing exactly what we’d see. Now I say that recalling
that even though we didn’t know exactly what we’d see, we
did expect it to be some form of music we could appreciate
even if it wasn’t our exact style.
Out came the bongos and other types of instruments, some
of which barely resembled anything I’d ever seen before.
It was music right out of deepest darkest Africa. It wasn’t
creative, entertaining, enlightening, interesting, or
something that would fall under any other category you
might think you could listen to and get something out of it.
It was noise, and I mean that in the real sense. It was
not what I would term music. The melody was bad. The
drum beats weren’t interesting... it was just noise.
My wife and I looked at each other with frozen winces on
our face. We kept it to ourselves, and graciously thanked
the woman for the nice tickets to this very interesting
show.
The reason I mention this, is if they go this route for
entertainment, there will be no ‘White culture’ music
left.
We’ll be hearing basically what my wife and I heard all
those years ago.
Cancelling out ballet classes, boy that’s right in line
with what we saw going on all those years ago.
You’re going to love it...
Get ready for “K-Rock” er, “K-Skull Bones” on FM 10-666!

I knew it! Culture destroying LGBT trash
“Marrying my wonderful wife and recently adopting our two little boys, has made me even more acutely aware of the challenges experienced by young people today. We are faced with a number of social, economic and environmental challenges which are felt as an immense pressure by many young people.”
Hmmm..certain kinds of bigoted generalizations are exceptable..even encouraged.
