Robin G Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Did you all enjoy seeing a pregnant Julie Kent on this month's Dance Magazine issue-as much as I did? I just got such a thrill seeing the photos of pregnant dancers,and the moms holding their babies! Quote Link to comment
BW Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Yes, PK - absolutely beautiful photographs! I haven't read the article yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Ballet has come a long way hasn't it - from the old days where I think many AD's would have preferred that their ballerina's never become pregnant! Here's to liberation! Quote Link to comment
Guest goldenpineapple Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I just got the magazine-and those women are so amazing! It's incredible that they can balance their dance and family lives, plus, in the pictures of Lauren Anderson and Barbara Bears, they are so in shape and back to their normal selves after having their babies. Bravo to all the dancer mothers! Quote Link to comment
Tiffany Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 This was a wonderful cover and article for Dance Magazine. I was especially glad to see that ballerinas can have more normal lives now, and have children, and know that they will still have a job when maternity leave is over. I am glad that at least these ballerinas in these companies will not have to choose to have a family or to dance, but will be able to choose both. Quote Link to comment
Guest SophieSapphire Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Did anyone else think it was entirely unfair that Julie Kent could be pregnant and still look awesome in a white leotard? Quote Link to comment
Tiffany Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Yes, its wonderful that she looked good pregnant in a white leotard. Unfair, but then how many people actually make it to being a principle with a company comparable to ABT?? Not many. She has worked hard and deserves everything she has. Quote Link to comment
