So, the verdict is in, and Times readers have reasserted stasis as the preferred concert etiquette. As if that needed to be reinforced.
Here’s what our letter would have said, you know, had we been motivated enough to write one.
Dear Oh Great Editor At The Times:
Daniel J. Levitin is totally right. And hot. He’s hot and right.
We should totally get to dance at classical concerts. First of all, it would help prevent my butt cheeks from falling asleep. Second, it could help people who might be suffering from restless leg syndrome feel more comfortable about having restless legs around people who have perfectly well rested legs. Third of all, I’d feel less bad about accidentally kicking the back of the seat in front of me while uncrossing and recrossing my legs–I could totally pass it off as a sweet interpretive dance move. And lastly, maybe one of the old people in the audience could actually dance themselves to death at the end of the Rite of Spring! Super sweet.
Thanks for publishing our letter so quickly.
With respect and big wet sloppy kisses all over your face…
C.C.
