Via NY Times:

"The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts named Stephen Nakagawa, a former dancer with the Washington Ballet, as its director of dance programming on Monday, shortly after firing the department’s previous leader and declaring that its programming would be moving in a new direction."

"Mr. Nakagawa had written a letter.... in which he noted his support for the Trump administration and complained about “radical leftist ideologies in ballet,”" "

Hubba what?

"Mr. Grenell had urged them to come up with programming that was more “broadly appealing,” providing as an example the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.”"

Hmmm, so it won't be all goose stepping, polkas and waltzes? In tRump's next move, the symphony orchestra will be replaced by Kid Rock and an Oompa band.
