It took 75 years for American Ballet Theatre to have its first African American female principal dancer, Misty Copeland. When TaKiyah Wallace-McMillian went to enroll her three-year-old daughter into her first ballet class, she immediately saw this lack of diversity and representation--even on her local dance studio's website. Within weeks TaKiyah, a freelance photographer, began shooting a project she called Brown Girls Do Ballet, which eventually became an Instagram hit and a nonprofit organization that provides resources, mentorship, inspiration, and encouragement to young dancers of color worldwide. For her first book, The Color of Dance, TaKiyah traveled around the United States seeking out dancers of African, Asian, East Indian, Hispanic, and Native American ancestry. With these more than 190 breathtaking images of colorful ballerinas of all ages and levels, both amateur and professional, TaKiyah gives a voice to dancers who have been underrepresented for too long. With dozens of quotes throughout from ballerinas themselves, The Color of Dance redefines what this classically Eurocentric art form has looked like for centuries and will inspire dancers--and all of us--to pursue our dreams no matter what barriers are put in front of us" -- $c Amazon. 650 0 $a Ballet. 650 0 $a Ballerinas. 650 0 $a African American dancers. 650 0 $a Photographs. 655 7 $a Illustrated works. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011948.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231025020518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A4B878872FC11EE80D9CCAA24ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
