Petitions

Stairway For Ballet supports advocacy efforts through petitions that promote greater diversity and inclusion within the ballet and dance industry. These initiatives have included calls for expanded representation in dancewear and equipment, such as encouraging pointe shoe companies to offer products across a broader range of skin tones and more inclusive apparel options.

Our petitions on MoveOn.org are designed to raise awareness of structural inequities in the field while encouraging industry accountability.
