Reviews

★ ""This powerful account is part cultural history, part biography as it traces the formation, rise, and decline of DTH through the experiences of these five ballerinas, as well as their continued importance to dancers of color today....this will appeal equally to fans of forgotten histories."" —Booklist, starred review ""A poignant and gripping piece of little-known history."" —Kirkus Reviews
