I was very lucky to have lived in Minneapolis in the 70s and there was very good dance there as well as lots of visits from the folks you mentioned.
And, there was Chicago not TOO far away, at least it didn't seem that far to drive, back then.
Nowadays, I'd rather watch ballet than any other performance art; I guess it's because I never got my fill and because our young daughter is very enthusiastic: her teacher is a former principal with NYB (Lindy Roy).
I also concur with your overall view of the current "serious" art world.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm just an old fogey, criticizing the contemporary and reminiscing about the "good old days" but then I actually list artists and... it's not close.
Heck, even European "conspiracy" art critics that like to hammer the post-WWII ascendancy of American painters as some sort of Jewish (Greenberg and the other guy) plot can't mention too many of their own that are vital, fresh, novel, or shocking.
Well, the good news is there's so much that came before that appreciation hardly will come up lacking, at least for my lifetime.
Plus, youtube and the DVD have made appreciating so much great material which otherwise would remain in the shadows.
