Playbill reports:
The response was immediate and swift across Broadway after Good Morning America host Lara Spencer made an on-air joke about Prince George enjoying ballet class: #BoysDanceToo. In social media posts from legendary dancers Chita Rivera and Debbie Allen to today’s working ensemble members, the outcry was loud and ferocious enough to prompt an on-air apology Monday morning from Spencer, who sat down with dancers Robert Fairchild, Travis Wall, and Fabrice Calmels to discuss their own experiences with being bullied for taking ballet. “I screwed up,” Spencer said.
