Hi! My name is Rayna Richardson (@raynarich) , and I’m a Junior Psychology major, Dance Arts minor at Howard University! I began dancing at the age of 7, and have trained at the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Alvin Ailey, and Petrov Ballet. The Révolutionnaire company fights for dancers of color that have been discriminated against or excluded because of the color of their skin. I became a Révolutionnaire dancer because of the company’s mission of providing tights, leotards, and scholarships for dancers that are sometimes unseen and unheard. As a Révolutionnaire dancer, I am reminded that my story matters, and that there is a place for dancers of color to feel included. For the future of dance, I hope that dancers of all colors, sizes, and disabilities are given equal opportunities to audition, perform, and share their gifts with the world!  I aspire to become a psychotherapist and a certified ballet instructor in the future.
