i wonder why they changed the name

i think Little Dancer is much better than Marie, Still Dancing. There is a TM for "little dancer" and i wonder if that is the reason for the change.

I did find this interesting article on Degas and whether he was "active" with them. "Laurens posits that it’s highly unlikely Degas sexually abused 14-year-old van Goethem, because Degas was a well-documented celibate, his abstinence rooted in a disgust of womankind. "

I don't think Degas pursues Marie in the musical and is more of bystander to her interest in the younger man.

Me too! But I think the current title is clunky. I like that song title referenced in another post - Dancing Still. More evocative than Still Dancing, imo.

There is a song in the show called "Dancing Still" - that could be a link to the evolution of the new title.
