Met Leslie and Manish in New York So good to see India getting more dance culture

[@SpankinHands]

This is fantastic! Ballet, like many grace arts and sports including figure skating and gymnastics, has been plagued by class-based racism: if you can't afford school or coaching, you're not included. I love watching how that is changing in my lifetime.
