It was also difficult to juggle school and ballet.” Despite the challenges, Austin persevered. Through- out her schooling, she was often the only black ballerina. She recalls one other African- American child dancer, but she did not stay long. “Hon- estly, I didn’t think about it, and neither did my parents. I was fortunate that Balanchine never treated me differently, and I danced so many princi- pal roles and solos under him,” she said. Austin managed the preju- dice she faced with grace and at times naivety, saying that often it was not until she looked back years later that she sees where there might have been discrimination. Un- like many black ballerinas who came after Austin, she did not fall victim to some of the harsher comments like dancer Aesha Ash, who was said to “ruin the line” when dancing side-by-side with white ballerinas. Still, Austin had moments where she met racism and stereotypes head-on. After several years with the New York City Ballet, she left to dance for the Zurich Ballet in Switzerland and was pro- moted to a soloist. While dancing the role of an Ethiopian princess, she was instructed to “roll her eyes, stick her butt out and invoke the typical 1950s stereotype of a black person with a wa- termelon.” “I refused to do this,” Austin said. “There was no reason to portray the role that way. The choreographer kept asking, ‘Why are you not getting this? Are you stupid?’ and I said flat-out that I was not doing it like that and ended up danc- ing as I wanted.” In 1982 Austin returned to the United States and was hired by a former fellow New York City Ballet dancer, Robert Weiss, to be a principal dancer with the , making her the first black woman to reach this es- 3A NEWS/The Triangle Tribune Sunday, June 4, 2017
