Street or ballet?

Post by SolidarityForever »

I've seen the topic somewhere, but wouldn't this be more of a poll question?
I have read many opinions and I know we all have one.

So which do you prefer? Street Electricity or Ballet Electricity?

One thing that's always bugged me about the musical version of Billy Elliot is the lack of ballet in a story about a kid who takes up ballet. I get from a production standpoint that tap and hip hop can be more entertaining for a crowd not familiar with dance. However I also know that ballet is perhaps more popular than ever, with productions regularly selling out around the world.
I personally wish there was a bit more ballet in show, but at least we've always had the Dream scene and Electricity. So yes... I prefer the ballet version of electricity.

Not widely seen, Street Electricity is one of my favorites. If street is the actors strong suit. Bradley Perret has a great example from the education awards performance.
