Note
  • Essay on how views of the aesthetic qualities of dance performance change. Blasis and the Romantic ballet emphasized grace, beauty, and charm. More recent generations prefer spectacular virtuosity and speed as exemplified by the gravity-defying leaps of Louise Lecavalier and Edouard Lock's recent work, Amelia, performed by La La La Human Steps. The postmodern dance reaction exemplified by Yvonne Rainer, however, was "No to virtuosity".
