THIS WEEK IN THEATRE NEWS:

A Philosophy Major Rants on Dance as a Pyramid Scheme
by Nancy Wozny
From the article: I shared Sarah Anne Austin’s smart essay Is American Modern Dance a Pyramid Scheme? on Facebook (as many did) on a Monday morning with no comment, then went off on my morning walk, while the dance world whipped itself into a tizzy.
The sassy, but inaccurate, title got my attention, which is exactly what headlines are supposed to do. (Earlier this morning, this rant was called, “Grim stats fail to kill dance.”) But for the record, dance educators are not running a pyramid scheme. And to Austin’s credit, nowhere does she mention that dance academia as we know it should go away. I also applaud her diligence in presenting the evidence. These are handy facts to have in hand when considering a dance degree of any kind.
