Sometimes you have to show the world before they believe it.
Gabe Stone Shayer is one of a handful of black dancers in the American Ballet Theater. He told me how hard it was for a black person to be cast for a prominent role like a prince. He was told that he did not look the part. So he got a little help from the legendary Dapper Dan of Harlem to make him look royal. Gabe would show up to the ABT fall Galla a king.
