Yes!...Black Ballet History...
...is 'So Nebulous!'
We now remember, and say the name...
...Audrey Malek!
Audrey is not playing Games! She
started going 'full bore' at Washington
School of Ballet on a full scholarship
and attended summer intensives at the
likes of...you know...DT Harlem and
ABT, among others. In 2022, she
became a corps de ballet member
at Pacific NW Ballet after being
featured in The New York Times
and in Pointe Magazine! She's been
chalking up leading and original
roles in all the big showings like
The Nutcracker, Giselle, and, of course,
Catching Feelings*!
"I'd Move Out Of Her Way If I Were You!"
