What young girls of all races need to see more of when they watch ballet-themed media are black and brown dancers facing discrimination — overtly, from dance moms and peers, and institutionally, from instructors and companies.

And they need to see ways in which this pervasive discrimination can be confronted. - Stacia L. Brown.
