I don't want to make you feel like I am putting down the work you are doing with your students. It's a great thing to inspire imagination. It's not the actual movement that I am against. I am against the label of it.

I think this statement you made is exactly what all teachers should be thinking:
"Like, what is important here in this classroom?  Is it the main goal that I am training these students to work in commercials, music videos and stuff like that?  Or is it important that I am speaking to them about all of their possibilities... choreographing, decision making, expression, finding their voice with dance and in life, venturing out, creating challenges never before imagined, reaching those goals and ruling the world.  I want my students to have a general knowledge of things that have come before but to have an intense focus on the sky... on all the possibilities."

There are too many teachers who limit their students. There are too many teachers that lead their students down a road of false possibilities. You have had success as a teacher, choreographer, and as a mentor to your students. Your students have had a wide spectrum of success. Even with all those achievements there is still a need to evolve with the ever changing demographic of the dance community. Now some in the dance community have created this false genre that is in fact just choreography with the wrong label.

So will you be a leader that stands up against the use of the title or a follower? In my opinion to teach kids today that they are learning this thing called "contemporary"  is only pushing them down the road of false possibilities.

What should it be called? That's not for me to decide but it belongs in the jazz vernacular. I would just call in jazz. I wouldn't even call it contemporary jazz because contemporary still conjures the use of modern and ballet techniques as the base of the movement.

I hope the length didn't overwhelm you. (slightly kidding)
