BLACK HISTORY MONTH READING LIST
For Black History Month, we’re sharing a list of recommended reading for our Academy students. We believe all should see themselves represented in the dance world, and these books tell the stories of Black ballet students, both fiction and nonfiction. From picture books to chapter books, we hope one of these will spark a conversation within your family. Happy reading!
