Kolesnikova believes some companies are more concerned about their “brand” than their dancers. “The ballet world frowns on the individual freedom of dancers. The ballet brands come first – not the freedom of the individual dancer,” she said. “In the ballet world, in too many cases, the status of dancers is similar to that of actors in medieval theatre – subservient. There are few personal freedoms and dancers have to commit to tough regimes.”
