“Coming out isn’t losing out on anything, it’s joining a family. It’s becoming a part of something bigger where we can work together to make OUR voices heard.”
In honor of Pride Month, we are so excited to release our newest Inside the Ballet podcast titled Dancing with Pride. Join our host and Community Engagement Manager Briona Richardson as she sits down with Nashville Ballet Company Dancers Sarah Pierce and Owen Thorne, choreographer, teacher, and dancer Lauren Flower, and Rob Sánchez Nelson, Interim Director of LGBTQI Life at Vanderbilt University as they discuss what it means to be an LGBTQ+ dancer, lack of representation in our industry, and how we can all work together to create a more inclusive environment for the performing arts.
