"It's been a trend for so long that tap dancers rode on the back of soloists, because that's generally how writers like to writer about tap. They champion one person and when that one person dies there is a huge toll. That is so dangerous. Imagine if we had lost our ballet legacy because Balanchine died. It's very important that we create a legacy that can hold more than a soloist. " Brenda Bufalino, NY
