This latest skirmish in the high art/low art war has played out most fiercely over Mr. Tidwell, who shocked balletomanes when he left American Ballet Theater in 2005, then added insult to injury by joining the third season of “So You Think You Can Dance.”
I think you're talking crap.
I know very well that I'm not the dancer that Danny is. He's on a completely different level. For the last four years, I've known who he is, and I just wanted to talk to him. So standing there with him tonight [as the final two] was the craziest thing.
In my opinion Danny was far and away the best.
You dance as if you've already won the competition.
Jumps and turns aren't hard; artistry is. To create a whole new world for the audience, that's the fantasy of ballet.
He just walked away like he was God's gift to the world.
I don’t even know if I’ll ever feel what I did when he finished dancing his solo on Wednesday night’s [2007-08-15] show. When he left the ballet world, he was losing his love of dance, and to me, watching that solo, he came full circle. He came back.”
When I was younger, I got into a lot of trouble. Getting the opportunity to dance really got me out of that.”
I think Sabra should have won.
The ‘Romeo and Juliet’ story, we’re so past that. I have a very deep respect for art, but I also think we have a lot to learn from pop culture. And that is the future. Either you can ignore it and be stuck in the past, or you can learn from it.
