Why Dance Doesn't Thrive In Spain?
In an interview with the Spanish daily El Mundo, Tamara Rojo, a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet in London, said good ballet had not been seen in Spain since Russian dance troupes toured it in the 1940s. "It is not this [elitism], nor the price of tickets - it is more expensive to see football. No, the real problem is lack of creativity and the lack of support from authorities makes dance distant from most people." The Guardian (UK) 04/21/08
