In honor of Black History month: 🤎🖤 Talley

In honor of Black History month: 🤎🖤
Talley Beatty (1918-1995) is considered one of the greatest choreographers of his time. Talley Beatty was born during a time when life was very difficult for African Americans. He grew up during the time of segregation. He wasn't able to attend dance classes with the white students so he took classes alone in another room. . Mr. Beatty studied with Katherine Dunham at the age of 12. He suffered the effects of segregation while performing with the company as did many African American dancers during the 30s and 40s. Beatty also studied with Martha Graham. He went on to be a solo artist and choreographer. His choreography focused on the social issues and life African Americans were dealing with during this time. He used the racial disenfranchisement of the time in his choreographic work. His style was mostly a mix between jazz and ballet. Beatty's work is a testament to how dancers use their lives and the era they live in and use the dance to create and speak out against social injustices.

In honor of Black History Month: 🤎🖤Arthur Mi

In honor of Black History Month: 🤎🖤Arthur Mitchell (1934-2018) founder of The Dance Theatre of Harlem and the first African American Male Principal Dancer at the New York City Ballet. In 1957 George Balanchine choreographed Agon and Mr. Mitchell famously performed this pas de deux as well as other notable ballets. Mr. Mitchell went on to begin The Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1968 after hearing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. It is the first Black Classical Ballet Company. Countless young girls and boys have studied at the school getting the best classical ballet training and it is where I am proud to say that I am a current student. Mr. Mitchell has given so many an opportunity to realize their dreams and to show the world that the color of your skin does not prohibit you from learning and excelling in classical ballet. Thank you Mr. Mitchell ❤️ #DanceTheatreOfHarlem #ArthurMitchell #ClassicalBallet #Ballet #OurHistory #BalletHistory #BlackBalletHistory #BlackBalletDancers #GeorgeBalanchine #Ballanchine #KarelShook #Agon #DTH #VirginiaJohnson #NYCB #NewYorkCityBallet @dancetheatreofharlem @browngirlsdoballet

In honor of Black History Month: 🤎🖤Katherine

In honor of Black History Month: 🤎🖤Katherine Dunham (1909-2006) anthropologist, social activist, author,and dancer. Ms. Dunham pioneered a technique that combined ballet and modern dance with African movements she learned while studying religious rituals in the Caribbean. She was a pioneer folk and ethnic choreography. She formed a dance company in the 1940s and toured the world. She refused to perform to segregated audiences. Ms. Dunham performed on Broadway and on stages around the world. She choreographed a piece in 1951 about lynching called Southland in Paris and Chile. In 1992 she went on a 47 day fast protesting the plight of Haitian Refugees. Traveling all around the world she was an amazing woman who showcased the beauty in traditional native dances of the people. She returned to the US with writings, pictures and film and this "new" choreography and what is known as The Dunham Technique. Ms. Dunham's life and passion shows how you can change the world through creative expression. #KatherineDunham #OurHistory #BalletHistory #BlackBalletHistory #BlackBalletDancers #BrownBallerina #BrownGirlsDoBallet #DanceTheatreOfHarlem #GabriellaEnPointe @browngirlsdoballet @dancetheatreofharlem

In Honor of Black History Month🤎🖤 I will sha

In Honor of Black History Month🤎🖤 I will share some pictures and history of dancers of color. This is Janet Collins (March 7, 1917 - May 28, 2003) At 15, Ms. Collins turned down an offer to dance with Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo because she was told she would have to lighten her skin. Ms. Collins became a Prima Ballerina for the Metropolitan Opera House in 1951 and the first black dancer to perform on that stage. She danced Carmen, Aida, La Giaconda and Samson and Delilah. Thanks you Ms. Collins for paving the way. 💖 #JanetCollinsPrimaBallerina #OurHistory #BalletHistory #BlackBalletHistory #BlackBalletDancers #BrownBallerina #BrownGirlsDoBallet #DanceTheatreOfHarlem #GabriellaEnPointe @browngirlsdoballet @dancetheatreofharlem
