Ballet; Social discrimination; Ethnic minorities & multicultural studies

This new collection of essays and interviews assembles research on teaching methods, choreographic processes, and archival material that challenges systemic exclusions and provides practitioners with accessible steps to creating more equitable teaching environments, curricula, classes, and artistic settings.

Antiracism in Ballet Teaching gives readers a wealth of options for addressing and dismantling racialized biases in ballet teaching, as well as in approaches to leadership and choreography. Chapters are organized into three sections - Identities, Pedagogies, and Futurities - that illuminate evolving approaches to choreographing and teaching ballet, shine light on artists, teachers, and dancers who are lesser known/less visible in a racialized canon, and amplify the importance of holistic practices that integrate ballet history with technique and choreography. Chapter authors include award-winning studio owners, as well as acclaimed choreographers, educators, and scholars. The collection ends with interviews featuring ballet company directors (Robert Garland and Alonzo King), world-renowned scholars (Clare Croft, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Brenda Dixon Gottschild), sought-after choreographers (Jennifer Archibald and Claudia Schreier), and beloved educators (Keesha Beckford, Tai Jimenez, and Endalyn Taylor).

This is an essential resource for anyone teaching or learning to teach ballet in the Twenty First Century.

Reviews for Antiracism in Ballet Teaching

""Antiracism in Ballet Teaching is an approachable text, making it an ideal anthology not only for ballet teachers inside and outside of academia but also for undergraduate and graduate students. Chapters could easily be included in dance pedagogy courses (especially Goldman and Cunningham’s Chapter 7) and courses that involve reflecting on the experiences of dance artists or the construction of dance institutions. [...] The anthology is highly applicable to many different educational settings, making it an essential book for those invested in ballet who are ready to “get to work” (Howard, p. 172) when it comes to antiracist teaching practices."" Mara Mandradjieff, Dance Chronicle, (47:3, 569-572)
