this dance collective is slaying instagram with their black af pictures

The Collage Dance Collective (CDC) is a Memphis-based professional ballet company and conservatory “on a mission to inspire the growth and diversity of ballet.” Directed by Marcellus Harper, who told Memphis Magazine that CDC is “trying to change the idea that ballet is only for one socioeconomic class, one gender, and one race […] It can be for everyone,” the collective not only kills it on the dance floor, but on Instagram too. Their passion for diversity in dance is exemplified by their beautiful performers in photos as much as in the studio, and you can check out some of our favorite images below!
