Hiplet Ballerinas
Friday, January 24, 2025
Fusing classical pointe technique with African, Latin, hip-hop, and urban dance styles rooted in communities of color.
Making ballet accessible by pairing it with current songs familiar to audiences who don’t normally attend ballet performances. Incorporating the rhythms of African drums with Tchaikovsky, arabesques, and beatboxing – all while showcasing Hiplet's trademark sass, hip movements and struts against music from Black Violin to Beyonce.
