For two years, Malcolm worked on his sautés and développés while his teacher tried not to look. Modern-dance classes later inspired nightmares of Martha Graham, who would admonish him to dance from his vagina. Since then, he has remained convinced that he is neither a turner nor a jumper. In 2003, he attended the American Dance Festival's Institute for Dance Criticism in Durham, North Carolina, as a New York Times Foundation Fellow.
