Dance critics like to look for hope in the best modern or postmodern choreography being shown in downtown Manhattan. I’ve seen good material there too and among young modern-dance choreographers elsewhere, and yet — amid a field too large for anyone to keep complete track of it — I sense that too little of late has amounted to anything historic.

I don’t even feel remotely qualified to argue this point.

Looking for vast historical generalizations about monumental shifts or landmark accomplishments seems dated in and of itself.  But what do you think?
