(ANNA-ROSE GASSOT/AFP via Getty Images | AFP)The Kennedy Center has fired its dance programming team. “Three individuals were terminated,” read a statement from Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi. The Kennedy Center did not identify the three people who were fired, but Jane Raleigh is listed as Director of Dance Programming on the Kennedy Center’s website. It doesn’t appear that the firings will interrupt the Kennedy Center’s dance offerings for the immediate future. Just last week, Trump surprised Kennedy Center staff when he announced his picks for this year’s Kennedy Center Honors, including actor Sylvester Stallone, disco star Gloria Gaynor, and the rock band Kiss.
