Online dance study shows at-home classes boost balance and reduce fall risk for older women

A study republished from The Conversation reports that 12 weeks of online, ballet-modern inspired dance classes held twice weekly for women aged 65+ led to less mediolateral sway, improved dynamic balance, and greater calf strength, suggesting online dance can be a fun, accessible form of balance training that helps daily activities and independence. The program, conducted via Zoom with safety support, could overcome barriers to exercise and is expanding to reach more communities, with future work exploring variations like blood flow restriction training.

Gravity-Defying Clapback: NYC Ballet Star Takes on Chalamet

New York City Ballet principal Jovani Furlan went viral after posting a gravity-defying clapback to Timothée Chalamet’s remark that people don’t care about classical art, balancing on a bosu ball on demi-pointe with a leg lift that drew millions of views and highlighted ballet’s athletic rigor, including Furlan’s seven-performances-a-week schedule and his daily training regimen; he says the actor shouldn’t be villainized and that the arts matter to many fans.

Chalamet’s ‘keep this alive’ comment fuels backlash from ballet and opera communities

Timothée Chalamet, speaking during a UT Austin conversation, said he doesn’t want to be working in ballet or opera to “keep this thing alive,” suggesting people will seek out Barbie or Oppenheimer and that others should not push to preserve those arts. The remark drew immediate pushback: Amar Smalls/blah? a ballet dancer argued ballet and opera remain cared about but are often inaccessible due to high ticket prices; opera singer Isabel Leonard criticized Chalamet as ineloquent, while choreographer Kam Saunders simply said “Yikes.” The piece highlights ongoing tensions over accessibility and the value of classical arts.
