Our Raising Leaders initiative will support these two dancers as they explore beyond the boundaries of the ballet studio. “I think that one of the issues of the ballet world is that it demands a lot of focus on developing the skill set to become a ballet dancer, so you have to really unilaterally or singularly focus on that skill set as you grow,...I’m an advocate for having experiences outside of ballet that can bring new perspective into ballet.” - Tamara Rojo for San Francisco Chronicle https://bit.ly/3yLKh2b
