My knowledge of dance you could write on the back of a stamp (unlike my OH) My efforts resemble an arthritic hippo with a prosthetic leg :D

What I do know though is that Francesca who rabbits this cobblers in the link should as a member of the white elite practice what she preaches and stand down in favour of a more ethnically acceptable candidate.

Of course the common sense approach would be employ somebody in the role for their expertise rather than their posturing.
Energy....secure and affordable,not that hard is it?

The audiences at The Hippodrome are pretty white, too. And that is in Birmingham, which has loads of non white faces.

As a trained dancer and then teacher of many years with ballet as my first love to say that I am saddened to read this article is a bit of an understatement. Thankfully I am retired and don't need to work through this minefield.
