Topics covered include dance training, casting (and color-casting), employment, discrimination, implicit bias, success, and achievement. Dancers discuss in detail the obstacles many dancers of color face during training; considerations facing some women of color when seeking employment; performance challenges related to company work; and the teachers, parents, and community members that paved a way and widened spaces for them. Through the stories and experiences of the women featured here, models of inclusive practices and allyship are shared. The book culminates with a section providing teaching tools to support inclusive learning spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51434174251231,"sku":"9781476687056","price":71.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gCHmWMUwnk9781476687056.webp?v=1790024687"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/nyama-mccarthy-brown.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
