With the support of her family and world-renowned choreographer George Balanchine, she rose to the top of her art form to become America's first prima ballerina.

Who Was Maria Tallchief? | Catherine Gourley, Who Hq

pick

Determined and talented, this Native-American prima ballerina, rarely discussed in mainstream pop culture, was a force in the dance world of the 1940s-1960s. She tried to honor her Osage heritage & live her dreams. For it‘s frank discussion of her father‘s alcoholism, I would recommend this for 9 years and up. #5stars #dance #indigenousculture
