Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Desmond Richardson!


Yes!...Black Ballet History...

is 'So Bubbly!'



We now remember, and say the name...




...Desmond Richardson!  



Desmond is as 

well-versed a dancer as the best of them! 

Modern, classical, hip hop, and 

contemporary ballet mega moves are in 

his arsenal! His expertise made him 

'Big Time Bait,' and he was grabbed 

by Alvin Ailey American Dance 

Center! Desmond currently is 

involved with Complexions 

Contemporary Ballet as its 

co-founder and co-artistic director! 



"He's the Champ!"




 



Black Ballet History Month, 

celebrated each year in August, was

founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.

in 2025 to recognize, celebrate, 

and honor, with deep pride, the 

countless Black Men, Women, 

and Organizations who 

tirelessly gave, and are giving, their 

time, talent, and physical treasure to 

exquisitely create, interpret, and put 

on historical and memorable 

Professional Ballet Productions the 

World over and to teach and mentor 

upcoming generations of performers!



The Founder of Black Ballet History Month,

Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.,

is also a Classical Ballet enthusiast,

USC Dental School Graduate,

and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
