Meet Harper Watters, the barrier-breaker at the Houston Ballet
Harper Watters opens up about his recent dance barrier-breaking promotion to become the first African American male principal dancer at the Houston Ballet.

He reflects on his journey, including the viral moment he wore pink heels on a treadmill, and shares how people like RuPaul, Beyoncé and his parents inspired him along the way. “My parents gave me dance, and, for that, I'm forever grateful,” he says.
