Artistic director Michael Pink: “I don’t subscribe to the class structure; I mean especially an organization where there’s so few dancers – if you have 25, 24 dancers, they’re all going to have to work equally well … You see the obvious people that can do those things, and I think we have less ego and less ego issues – we don’t have any issues with anybody who assumes they’re greater than anyone else, and that’s lovely.”
