Ballerina Aesha Ash was recommended to leave the corps of the New York City Ballet because the master in chief basically said she had accomplished all she could as a Black dancer. After the decision to leave, Ash joined Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet, a company based in San Francisco, where she soared. Ash has been featured in Pointe Magazine, Dance Magazine, New York Times, and San Francisco Chronicle. She also started a blog, The Black Swan Diaries, for all those following in her footsteps to learn from her story as well as other Black dancers that share their experiences.
If you recognize her slender and poise physique, it’s because she was also the dance double for Zoe Saldana in Center Stage.
God! We are BEAUTIFUL!!

We have a tendency in this country that when we say Black it automatically means Black Americans. But that’s a big mistake, and that keeps us divided. There are Blacks all over this entire world - even in Africa. So there are Black Hispanics…but Spanish people are a nationality, not a race. You have White Spanish people, you have Black Spanish people, you have Indian-Spanish looking people. There are Black French people and Black English people, you know. I happen to be a Black Hispanic person who was born in this country. So whatever you call it…I like to think of myself as an actress. - Irene Cara
