A super interesting article, thank you! I love the observation you've made about the typical performer needing to shut her personality down as part of the "obedient" gymnast trope. Obedience was instilled into us, and it straightjacketed everything, right down to our dance styles. Now we see what rushes in to fill the vacuum when the traditional power dynamics are brought into question. These enormously talented women are blooming, and it's such a joy to watch.

Thank you! I wish I could take credit but I was merely a conduit for Kyra's brilliance.
