Audiences? Nationwide, annual attendance at all dance events (ballet, modern jazz, ethnic) now stands at about 15 million, a threefold increase in just five years. Ballet schools? There are thousands of them, from small outfits run by a single proprietor-instructor to big operations affiliated with the major professional companies. The highly-rated A.B.T. school, where the parents of an aspiring dancer may pay $700 a year for nine hours of classes a week, now has 1,000 students, an increase of 25% in five years.

...insistence that true freedom can only be realized through the experience of its negation, of oppression. Marcus goes on to argue that Dickens placed this experience of negation and the pursuit of true human freedom it implices at the core of his novelistic career. Marcus's achievement here is threefold: he has shown how the self-contained world of language gives way to the social world for Dickens, how literary analysis must lead into the interpretation of a text as a representation of society, but most importantly, he has shown how the experience of reading great literature leads...
