Ballet Moves: Pirouette

Derek Brockington: “I dance because it is a way that I can express myself. I don't always have my way with words. So dancing is a great way for me to get out what I want to say or to make somebody else feel something.”
Derek Brockington is a company dancer with Dance Theatre of Harlem, a multicultural group of dancers whose 55th season launches in New York City today! Catch them at New York City Center April 11-14, or on tour later in the year.
We sat down with DTH dancers to learn more about ballet history, the physical demands of performing and the joys of dancing for our newest episode. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!
