      Because with social media being so "big" right now, everybody has micro fads that popularize anything for a short while.
      Remember planking?
      Remember Kale?
      Remember Obama being black?
      Everything gets old quick with today's society.

    Ballet as a genre has always been beautiful. But incorporating different styles of music allows it to reach and RELATE to groups of people that wouldn't usually pay attention. So we should be able to recognize the impact this has.

      @TheFlyandtheFrog 7 лет назад +2

      yeah...it's not hip-hop or ballet because they don't actually use ballet technique, and hip-hop, which is based mainly on 'popping and locking', isn't even what they're doing on pointe like... I mean its great that they're finding their own thing and stuff but...

      And new stuff can be a little off putting, but maybe it's just because it's new. At any rate, all art forms are an acquired taste; for that matter, not everybody admires hip hop artists, and not everybody thinks ballet is all that.

    I'm not that impressed with Hiplet. I was expecting so much more. I had literally anticipated that it would be way more amusing than the usual ballet, like give ballet a run for its money. This dance form is basically tiptoeing and nothing much really. It's such a disappointment.
