Why a Tiny Troupe Kept Its Kennedy Center Dates

A small ice skating troupe, the Sun Valley on Ice, decided to keep their scheduled performances at the Kennedy Center despite the departure of many artists following President Trump's inauguration. Unlike larger organizations, the Sun Valley on Ice group could not afford to cancel their shows, as the lost revenue would have been detrimental to their operations.

While the departure of other artists was a response to political differences, the Sun Valley on Ice troupe chose to focus on their artistic obligations and maintain their scheduled engagements. This choice highlights the practical challenges faced by smaller artistic groups, who may not have the resources to make bold political statements through event cancellations.
