The inaugural issue of "Dance Gazette" is now available.
In this issue, stories of dancing against the odds is featured. "Becoming the best dancer you can be is always demanding, but imagine how much more challenging it is if you are in transition from the gender of your birth to the gender of your heart," says David Jays, the editor.
"We meet transgender ballet students who were thrown out of their classes and struggled to find sympathetic ballet teachers."
Also featured is Leroy Mokgatle, the South African gold medallist at Genée 2015 and ballet students in war-torn Damascus.
Produced by the Royal Academy of Dance, the international dance publication will be published three times a year, in February, June and October.
