If you are my friend/follower on other social networks, I apologize because this will be the THIRD time you have heard this story! Anyways, most dancers should know by now about the Jenifer Ringer controversy. She dances with the New York City Ballet and this Nutcracker season, she is casted as the Sugarplum Fairy. A critic, Alastair Macaulay from the New York Times, wrote that Ringer looked as if she had "one sugarplum too many." Ringer, in the past, has been very open with her eating disorders and to receive such a comment set the dance world on fire to defend her.
I found this video which has Ringer on the Today Show discussing the issue. Watch and see why she should be your hero!
Hugs, Kisses, and Girl-Power!
