happythoughts 0 #1 May 5, 2004 I didn't make this up. clicky QuoteNASCAR Ballet is the next installment of Roanoke Ballet Theatre's desire to create an appreciation for dance through popular culture. NASCAR Ballet centers around 20 ballet and modern dancers (who represent cars) who circle a forty foot horseshoe track that banks around the corner complete with break away railings. Quote Another monitor, relays live footage of the "pit" as dancers lift, rotate and spin one another during the "pit stop". This could be a method of bringing the world of ballet to an audience that has previously ignored ballet except for the women-in-tight-stockings part. Or it could be a lame attempt to cash in on another commercial genre that people are actually interested in. Hard for me to say, the only culture that I've got is between my toes.

kingbunky 3 #2 May 5, 2004 if you took all the nascar fans, and all the ballet fans, and took all the people who are in both groups, they could probably perform the show in his garage.

happythoughts 0 #8 May 5, 2004 QuoteDo you think the dancers will be covered in sponsors like the cars and those goofy jackets they wear? Wonder who will land the Viagra deal??? ***As the dancers gracefully careen around the track, collide and are rebuilt, logos of sponsoring companies are displayed prominently all over their bodies. It's funny that you always hear about little old ladies with fur coats getting spraypainted by fur-activists. Why don't they harrass the NASCAR fans who wear leather coats? Probably because a defenseless little old lady won't beat you senseless. They may have convictions, but they are still chickens***. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
