About this Quote

Twyla Tharp's quote speaks to the problem of finding a great male dancer in the past, and even today. She suggests that male dancers were, and still are, a rarer breed than female dancers. This might be due to the fact that male dancers are often viewed as less preferable than female dancers, or that there are fewer male dancers in basic. Tharp also mentions that an excellent male dancer, one as strong as they were, was hard to come by if you could not manage to pay them. This might be since male dancers are typically more pricey than female dancers, or because there are less male dancers offered. This quote talks to the problem of finding a great male dancer, and the significance of having the ability to spend for one. It also speaks to the gender inequality that exists in the dance world, and how male dancers are frequently seen as less preferable than female dancers.
