Andile Ndlovu is an African man from the Soweto townships, making a name for himself in the world of ballet in South Africa. What is assumed to be an elitist art form is being turned on its' head by a man with a passion for the art of dance. Ndlovu said it was difficult at first but was completely worth it, as he has now gone on to win prestigious awards in Boston and in Cape Town.
I find it interesting that ballet, a french art form has traveled all over the world to be enjoyed by everyone. And what was once an elitist form of art and entertainment has reconstructed itself to include anyone who has the passion and work ethic to achieve their dreams.
