Meet the Australian teen hoping to be the world’s first Muslim pro ballerina

Stephanie Kurlow is not your average teenage girl with a dream of ballet stardom. For one, she’ll never be a “bunhead.” The 14-year-old Australian is Muslim, making her one of the most prominent hijab-clad ballet dancers around, and she refuses to let her faith get in the way of her life’s goal: to dance professionally. And you can help her achieve that goal.

I’m sorry that I haven’t been active most of the time but things aren’t really going on here really well /_\ I’ve been injured and my ankle isn’t strong enough to do pointe work anymore :( however on the bright side I’m gonna try out some other types of dances! i was wondering if you guys could give me some recommendations? I might be trying modern dance or modern jazz but dw! I’ll be resuming ballet after summer to strengthen my technique again :) I can’t wait to go back to dancing ❤️ i hope my lovely dancers never give up and will stay determined with their passion of dancing and I wish you all a happy Mother’s Day :)
