The New York Times
Many dancers have taken advantage of a byproduct of the pandemic — time away from performing — to try out a new role: motherhood.
At the beginning of the pandemic, one of Megan Fairchild’s former dance teachers gave her some advice: Now would be a really great time to get pregnant.
