The Dallas Black Dance Academy will be performing their Espresso Nutcracker this weekend, a twist on the traditional holiday performance.
– The Dallas Black Dance Theatre is the longest running dance company in Dallas and on Saturday the Dallas Black Dance Academy, the official school of the theatre, will be performing their Espresso Nutcracker, a twist on the traditional holiday performance.
"It's a community and I feel like each student in the academy becomes even closer when we do the nutcracker," said Perry, a senior at Booker T Washington High School and a 10-year member of the Dallas Black Dance Academy. "For classical ballet children of color were typically not able to train in classical ballet," said Katricia Eaglin, the Dallas Black Dance Academy director."This gives our students the opportunity and our community to see, that we encourage students to do classical ballet, they can do classical ballet and if other students are in the audience they see that its possible for them too.
"Our land of sweets is different primarily because we include the Duke Ellington Nutcracker Suites," said Eaglin."We felt like that part of the world was left out so we wanted to include that," said Eaglin."Having the privilege and honor to be Sugar Plum Fairy this year really makes me feel like I've finished what I've started here at Dallas Black Dance Academy," said Perry.
