"Be considerate, ask questions and remain open to engaging in a dialogue about differences. 'You can't change the color your skin or the texture of your hair,' explains Atlanta Ballet dancer Kiara Felder, 'so I think it would help if the awareness of difference was greater. If someone came up to me and said, 'I realize that this is different for you' and asked how I felt about it, it would go a long way in making me feel comfortable and less fearful and anxious.'" - Dance Magazine, April 2016
