The paper, owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, has laid off a dozen employees.
Prominent among them is the dance critic Sarah L. Kaufman, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has kept the flame burning for ballet in DC for half a century.

I can’t fathom why this institution is shutting itself off to what dancers and choreographers have to say about our lives and the world we live in.’
So true.
