adv

Etymology: From forced + -ly.

  1. In a manner that is, or seems, forced.

    In the last 75 years, the two main resident choreographers who have reshaped the Paris Opera Ballet are Serge Lifar and Rudolf Nureyev, intelligent stars whose choreography was generally empty, pompously (Lifar) or forcedly (Nureyev) academicist, astoundingly anti-musical in emphasis, strong on surface and almost entirely devoid of dance tone.
