Janet Collins wanted to be a ballerina in the 1930s and 40s, a time
when racial segregation was widespread in the United States. Janet
pursued dance with a passion, despite being rejected from
discriminatory dance schools. When she was accepted into the Ballet
Russe de Monte Carlo as a teenager on the condition that she paint
her skin white for performances, Janet refused. She continued to go
after her dreams, never compromising her values along the way. From
her early childhood lessons to the height of her success as the
first African American prima ballerina in the Metropolitan Opera,
this is the story of a remarkable pioneer.
