Brown Ballerinas First Steps is a story about Trinity’s first experience in a ballet class. At the age of four, she learned the beginning steps it takes to create a Princess Ballerina. Trinity was nervous and excited as she entered into a space she once dreamed about.
​
Ballet barre’s, mirrors, dance floors, and little girls that look like her, help Trinity to feel safe and nurtured in a new studio environment. Once she got past, “I can’t do it,” her teacher, Ms. Paula, found her to be the best in the class!
​
Join Trinity and her new friends as they learn the beginning steps to becoming a Brown Ballerina.
