The ballet world has rarely seen a dancer quite like Tacoma-born Amanda Morgan, and she's breaking new ground at Pacific Northwest Ballet.
VIDEO: First Black dancer at Pacific Northwest Ballet continues to break new groundThe ballet world has rarely seen a dancer quite like Tacoma-born Amanda Morgan, and she is breaking new ground at the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
The first thing you notice when you watch Morgan dance are her legs — and you quickly discover this is where she was meant to be. “And then she saw that I loved to dance and she said, ‘Well, I want my kid to, you know, have the opportunities to be part of the arts if they want to, because I didn’t,’” Morgan said, then laughing. “Also I was really hyper and crazy as a kid. And I think she just wanted to get rid of me in a way. She’s like, ‘I can’t anymore.’ And somehow I would focus in ballet class when I was two-and-a-half.”
