[quote=Anonymous]It’s definitely less racially diverse than MYB or Citydance. Probably similar to Seber. It’s a reflection of its NW location, which isn’t exactly representative of the wider DMV. I've never had the sense that there was any hostility, and, in fact, I think leadership is aware that this is an issue. Many demographic indicators at TWSB reflect the area it draws from, for example, the majority of kids are in private schools, with some homeschooled at the higher levels. It’s just not a very diverse place on many levels, but then neither is classical ballet at the elite level. It’s slowly changing.. I hope that your dancer feels comfortable there. There are students of color at all levels, and some have been there for many years and the kids all seem to be friendly, but I understand it’s not ideal. [/quote]
