Too Asian or Not Asian Enough: The Ballet World with Ivy Chow

Not feeling Asian enough to be competitive, but also too Asian for casting. Am I talented or just a token Asian? Tune into this intimate and raw conversation with Ivy Chow (MFA, BS) a dance director, educator, and choreographer in the DC Metropolitan area. We touch on topics of being an Asian-American in a predominantly white-field, ballet culture and so much more.

And calling it quits isn't always a bad thing, sometimes it's the very thing that will lead us to our next right step. Tune in!
