QUOTE
"When it appears so
obvious that dance can either enhance or diminish our humanness, why do
we seem to use it so frequently for the latter and so infrequently for
the former?"
- Dance educator Susan Stinson in 1984
('Examining the dance world's ethics' by Naomi M. Jackson, Dance Magazine, Feb 7, 2024)
