Black Ballerina (2016): Cast

BLACK BALLERINA explores the journeys of several black women across different generations who share a passion for ballet. The film interweaves historical accounts from dancers like Joan Myers Brown, Delores Browne, and Raven Wilkinson, who faced racism and limited opportunities six decades ago, with the experiences of contemporary dancers of color. Through their stories, the documentary highlights ongoing challenges in breaking into the predominantly white world of ballet and sparks a conversation about race, inclusion, and opportunity in American society.
