Episode 09: Being Black in a Predominantly White Industry

Christopher Renfurm joins us today to share his story of being the only boy in ballet classes as a child and almost always the only black dancer in any dance class until he moved to New York to train at Alvin Ailey School where he was able to dance and train with dancers of color from around the world. Christopher is currently in Paris Mervielles at the Lido de Paris. His vision for creating more opportunities for dancers of color as well as expanding theater goers perception of beauty in diversity is so encouraging.
