No. There needs to be a lot of expression in ballet, and robots can’t do that. Robots won’t have the amount of flexibility for dance either.

Too much creativity (for choreography and interpretation of movement) and too much dexterity and complex movement, specifically requiring a flexible, yet strong build which most robots don't have.

I'm just saying, robot dancers don't sound too bad. And I won't get in trouble for harassing them. What a dream.
