life.style: Black Celebration - 9, 10, 11 & 12 of 28
 |
| World renowned dancer and choreographer Katherine Dunham (with Vanoye Aikens) in L'Ag'Ya, 1938 |
Coming on the heels of Natalie Portman and the success of Black Swan (which Max and I absolutely loved), I find it only fitting to showcase true Black swans!
Katherine Dunham, formed Ballet Nègres, the first black ballet company in the US
Janet Collins, the Metropolitan Opera's first African American prima ballerina
Carmen De Lavallade, prima ballerina at the Metropolitan Opera
Mary Hinkson, first African American woman to dance with the New York City Ballet
