By Brittany Burke April 10, 2018 This interview is part of Health's #RealLifeStrong series, where we are celebrating women who represent strength, resilience, and grace. Ingrid Silva is turning the stereotype of a ballerina body on its head. Here, the 29-year-old - who's currently in her sixth season at the Dance Theatre of Harlem in New York City- opens up about being the only black girl in her ballet class, forging her own career path, and why representation matters. (.) You've carved your own path in an industry known for its extremely strict standards - how did you do it? People see ballerinas as a typical white, skinny, tall girl. It's so much more than that. When I arrived at Dance Theatre of Harlem I felt very welcome. I felt like I found people who looked like me. I felt like l was where I belonged. In Brazil, there wasn't much diversity. I was the only black ballerina in my class! And when I came to America, in this company, I was just one more. (.) How do you deal with career hurdles these days? I feel like the ballet career is going to be hard forever. You always want to be a better "you" every day. And you want to be perfect, which doesn't exist. But one thing is important: to be consistent. And right now, I'm trying to be consistent more and more. That's different than being perfect, because we'll never be perfect.
