He spoke to ICONS about his journey to the <strong>30th anniversary season of</strong> <strong>Complexions Contemporary Ballet</strong>, how his identity impacted his journey, and how he’s still banging down the door for more opportunities for his dancers. Rhoden is frank, and his push for excellence from himself and his dancers, while also being honest in his trademark coquettish style and humor.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.danceicons.org/pages/index.php?p=241029223750"><strong>Read the Full Interview with DWIGHT RHODEN  </strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>ICONS INSPIRE</strong> is a monthly digital portrait and a one-on-one interview with a groundbreaking choreographer.
