I understood it, but I think the confusion comes in if you've never been around professional dancers. Their world thrives on manufactured drama. It's like high-school times 20 because everything is about ego and getting recognition/praise. I believe that's why, as the original commentor pointed out, this story has too much melodrama and not enough substance for the majority of readers.
Put another way, it's much ado about nothing.
A bit too melodramatic for my taste.
