GetBig Dum Dums...talking about the arts like that.
I was formally trained in ballet. I met my wife in the local production of the Nutcracker. I also took dance in college but it was a horrible experience as the teacher was some "modern hipster" that had me dance to a "siren"...yes you read correctly...no music just a siren.
My good friend was absolutely outstanding in ballet. He went to the Boston Conservatory which was a huge eye opener for him. He left within six months because of the drug use. Yes lots of drugs, throwing up and he found himself wondering if he could do that...you know, drugs and throwing up. He was spending gobs of money and knew he wasn't good enough to be great. The dance machine, chewed him up and spat him out.
Never heard of prostitution but wouldn't rule that out since going to a school like I mentioned is extremely expensive. The show Flesh And Bone is a pretty depressing show...nothing good or happy about it. I turned it off when the sister started having sex with the brother...bizarre.
STAY POSITVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
