...fashioned dance forms. However, this choice limited the complexity of the performance, and the dancers’ long, obtrusive skirts covered the few challenging steps they executed. Moreover, the sporadic use of a plastic folding chair as a prop looked awkward and arbitrary.

The odd mixture is unique to this College and worth preserving. Though Dean of the College Benedict...
