The Times Are Racing
- ... that a portion of the 2017 ballet The Times Are Racing is inspired by the video game Dance Dance Revolution? Source: "When he was a teenager, studying dance at the School of American Ballet, he and his roommate Robbie Fairchild — who would go on to become one of the most celebrated principal dancers at the N.Y.C.B. — would play Dance Dance Revolution late into the night. Each of them had a background in tap, and the video game, in which they hit colored pads with their feet to visual cues, became a jocular way of competing. The tap duet Peck created, a set of moves with such precise synchronicity that the two dancers almost merge, was a homage to that time in his life and was to be the basis for the rest of the choreography."
