Ballet, as an art form, has a rich history that spans centuries. However, one aspect of this history that has come under scrutiny in recent years is the celebration of hierarchy. This hierarchy was celebrated as an essential part of ballet, but 21st-century ballets need to reflect equality across a diverse landscape.

Ballet is a timeless art form that has evolved over the centuries. However, in the 20th century, traditional ballet became characterized by a certain set of stories and forms that are now considered archaic and in need of innovation. These stories and forms, while once considered cutting edge, no longer resonate with today's audiences and fail to represent the diversity of our world. As such, it is essential that ballet embrace new and diverse stories and storytellers in order to remain relevant and engaging.

Throughout history, women in ballet have often been objectified due to the dominance of the male directors and choreographers, which has influenced the way dancers are choreographed, costumed, and presented on stage. In the 21st century, it is imperative that women’s voices are heard.
