This North Texas Giving Day, help us keep the door open for the next generation of dancers. A little goes a long way.
It began in 2013, when TaKiyah Wallace, while searching for a ballet class for her daughter, recognized a painful absence of representation. What started as a photography project to reflect diversity in dance grew into a nationwide movement uplifting countless young ballerinas.
