It s actually accomplishing what we always started out wanting to do, that this would not just be what some would refer to as a one-and-done, or a Kumbaya moment where OK, we sang, we held hands, now everybody go back home. This is a commemorative year . even into the fall with Tulsa Ballet doing a full production and bringing African American artists and dancers from New York and an African American choreographer for a full production about the history of Greenwood, said Phil Armstrong, project director for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. This is the beginning. This is not just a time when we do this and never talk about it again. This is a launchpad: Every year we are going to look forward to commemorating and having some type of event that remembers and honors this history.

South Tulsa Children’s Ballet Offers Space To Thrive As Dancers Perform Nutcracker
Dancers with South Tulsa Children’s Ballet are getting ready to perform the Nutcracker, but this show is special because everyone who auditions gets a part.
The director tells News On 6 this nonprofit is her way of making sure ballet is accessible to every child. No matter what, they are going to bring something to this program, said South Tulsa Children’s Ballet Director Pamela Farry-Haden.
These dancers are just hours away from their 2020 performance of the Nutcracker. They make you feel welcome and they make you feel at home, said this year’s Sugar Plum Fairy, Bella Denne. There is just something really special about it.
