Jan McNulty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Here's a nice BBC feature about Michaela DePrince who was adopted in Sierra Leone and is now dancing with Dance Theatre of Harlem: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19600296 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This young lady got quite considerable coverage earlier this year when the "First Position" documentary on the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) was released in North America. (I don't recall hearing of any UK release that is planned.) Her story is quite remarkable, and I hope she flourishes with Dance Theatre of Harlem and wherever else her career may take her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
