MISSOULA, Mont. — Ballet Beyond Borders brings dancers into Missoula from all around the world. For the last five years, BBB’s annual festival has been held in Missoula, but this year they’re taking it to Los Angeles.
According to their website the festival “provides a cultural, educational and diplomatic exchange to further human understanding and spark vital communication.”
The dancers, who come from more than 25 different countries, can gain scholarships, cash and job opportunities. They might even get a visa to a new country.
BBB president Charlene Campbell Carey says the dancers are diplomats and help bring social justice issues to light.
