Dance and Politics, Ballet Version: Just for summer fun!



Former New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Damien Woetzel gives Mo Rocca a ballet lesson, and together they make a new ballet about WMD….. or cookies.

MR: “Do you think if our world leaders studied dance, there’d be greater peace in the world?”

DW: “I do think the ability to waltz, is very conducive to being even-tempered.”

Karen this is great! I'm still laughing and have emailed it already. As a Tasmanian I particularly enjoyed the reference to the "Tasmanian devil". Music, dance, art - all are proponents for peace and pleasure. I can't imagine not having them in my life. The world would be a very dark place. Hmmm - as it is for many in the world right now.

Karen, what a great video that I've sent on already. I'm still laughing and have watched it several times. As a Tasmanian, I especially liked the reference to the Tasmanian devil.

Music, dance, art - our leaders and diplomats need far more than they are getting.
