deirdreGot a chance to watch Water Flowing Together tonight, a movie about Jock Soto, who was the principle dancer of the New York City Ballet for many years. He was one of the last dancers trained by Balanchine.
In addition to talking about ballet, it covers a lot of other subjects: being teased as a gay kid, growing up Puerto Rican and Navajo, and the process of transitioning from a poor family to an international star.
He talks about the tension between his views of living on a reservation as a child vs. his views going back after his retirement from the ballet.
Worth watching.
