Empowering Elegance is Project III’s first-ever panel-based event, launching a new chapter of dialogue-driven programming. Held at the Intimissimi NYC Flagship, this intimate gathering explores the complex intersections of sexuality, agency, and tradition in classical dance. Moderated by Flesh and Bone star Nadia Vostrikov (formerly Boston Ballet II), the panel features celebrated artists Cassandra Trenary (ABT), Alexandra Hutchinson (Dance Theatre of Harlem), and Candy Tong (Complexions Ballet) in conversation. Together, they unpack how dancers reclaim power within an art form shaped by a deeply gendered legacy.
