So the immodesty of ballet is clearly immoral, because it is totally unnecessary. For that reason, alone, and not as much the movements, it was right that the Church forbade Catholics from doing it.
I agree. It seems some people on this thread have not read the first post with the traditional quotes. I am surprised there could be any discussion after these quotes.
I will add another reason why we should not condone ballet: The training is clearly immoral.
How can you be a Traditional Catholic and agree parents could in good conscience send their innocent daughters to Ballet training?
There, these girls will be taught everything that is contrary to modesty: "Dress" in tights; do leg movements that uncover their private parts; etc. And doing it with other girls and even with "boys". And under the eyes of adult teachers. All the while, these girls are being told this immodest attire and these immodest movements are "ART".
How could such parents ask their girls to be modest at home and in society, and yet send them to Ballet classes?
The problem is: People forget Original Sin and its wounds. These are the real reasons Traditional Theologians and Saints have warned against Ballet and other immodest forms of activities.
Before Vatican II, the Popes ALSO condemned all sport activities that were conducted with immodest clothing for male and females.
COMMON GUYS: GET A SPINE!
