But how do you REALLY feel about ballet?

Lewis Segal at the LA Times is fed up with ballet, and isn't afraid to say why in his recent opinion column.

Most ballet is every bit as bad as audiences secretly suspect -- and it's not going to improve until companies stop conning or shaming us into accepting damaged goods. In the meantime, guilt-free hatred of ballet is reasonable, maybe even necessary.

Ouch. Let the letters to the editor begin.

Thanks to Trevor and ArtsJournal for the link.
