Atlanta Ballet is thrilled to officially announce its partnership with dancewear company So Danca USA in January, which will feature a new line of skin-tone tights and shoes for both students and professional dancers. To recognize the significance of this exciting product launch, the important issue of diversity and inclusion in ballet will be the highlight of this intimate conversation.

Moderated by WABE “Closer Look” host Rose Scott and featuring a variety of perspectives from panelists including master choreographer and co-founder of New York-based Complexions Contemporary Ballet Dwight Rhoden, this open discussion will focus on the impact of offering skin-tone tights and shoes for young, aspiring dancers of color, and the importance of increasing inclusivity and diversity in the ballet world.
