Yes!...Black Ballet History...
is 'So Spring Time!'
We now remember, and say the name...
...Antonio Douthit-Boyd!
Antonio started training at sixteen at the
Center of Creative Arts in St. Louis, then
moved on to Alvin Ailey American
Dance Theater, and several other places,
including the Alexandria School, The
Joffrey, San Francisco, and the Dance
Theatre of Harlem. He returned to,
and is currently the Artistic Director,
for COCA, St Louis!
"Right On, Sir!"!
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.
