I'm pretty sure Sarah Jessica Parker is referring to her time spent at what was the ABT school.

@gratefulgrace It IS peculiar that Sarah Jessica Parker isn't on ABT's alumni roster. Plus, how does one "sorta pursue it" and "wish I pursued it" when one danced with ABT for many years?

[slug3121]

weird.

[gratefulgrace]

Sarah Jessica Parker was never a dancer with the American Ballet Theatre!!!

[chanelxdi0r]

@gratefulgrace Yes

[Petitechouette36]

a lot of years? it's MANY YEARS!

[vanessaaa326]

ahh this brings back many memories when i used to dance for the school of american ballet, its a shame like jessica said that i didnt peruse it .

[BernardProfitendieu]

yeah, right, Sarah Jessica Horseface danced with ABT for "a lot of years"

[KMANWatson13]

Just fyi, a balletomanes is not a male ballet dancer, but rather a fan and avid attendee of the ballet. A danseur is a male ballet dancer.

Yeah! The pirouette dream - goes like this:: doing an audition for a company and just keep going round and round, 10,15 times and it is sooo easy! When I was dancing, which was many years ago, girls were thought to be great if they could do 6 pirouettes, and it was rare to see that. Now, omg, everyone can do them and lots of ballerinas can do as many as the best male dancers!

[2princess4ever]

@bachandbark hey you know many ballerinas can do 8 pirroettes

[ballerinainatutu]

[ballerinainatutu]

@syd453lm oh God, i started doing that just a few weeks ago...

[cammy1294]

Sarah Jessica Parker was with ABT? No way! Thats like one of the best companies in America...definately top three!

[KMANWatson13]

[MsBunhead]

MOby- "I thought i hate it because i hate alot of things" lol i love ballet!

[dancebea92]

@conceil8 seriously?

[TheEditorialist]

I saw this tripe and immediately went to short another 1,000 NYT shares.

But my broker has no more shares to lend so I bought puts instead.

NYT is going to zero. They are too clueless to survive.

My brother danced in this Winter Ball, the School has such an extraordinary initiative, and the founders were amazing people, as the supporters are now. Offering young persons the opportunity to dance and dream a lot!! Thanks SAB supporters!! Thanks SAB!!

[paladilhe]

Why the hell would I care what Moby and that douche from Gossip Girl have to say about ballet?? The stupid reporter doesn't interview anyone in the ballet world (which shows her utter cluelessness.) What a useless piece of TMZ- worthy celebrity tripe!!! Oh, and the video doesn't need a dumb 10 second intro of the so-called "reporter." Now I know which NYTimes videos to ignore!

[msm2you]

As assine as Moby, Sara Jess et al. can be, these people are the ones who help pull in the dollars to the dance world.

Sad, but true.

[livliv]

nice to see so many supporters. ballet I find is a underappreciated art

[bradleysmith1996]

Kind Of Funny.
