Rebecca - I think the initial message came from Ron Alexander who is the person doing this type of taping. The Association only passed on the message to its members.

Perhaps the ABC decided to show this at a later date or this particular segment just ended up on the cutting room floor. Either way, we did not get to see it!

Some of us were lucky enough to see it and provided you were passionate about ballet it was good value - While massage got a brief mention and about 90 seconds air time it was really documentary on all the physical challenges of professional dancing - the taping segment was equally brief and only served to point up the fact that Ron's techniques for mere mortals are slightly adapted so as not to interfere with the dancer's flexibility - In summary beaut for ballet, brief and boring for massage therapists kind regards - Joel Morrell
