The Snellville, GA, native has been with BalletMet since 2016, and is known for her powerful presence and dynamic technique. She’s also giving back to other young dancers through her work with Brown Girls Do Ballet. “When I went to summer intensives, I was usually the lone brown ballerina in my group,” says Jones. “And I grew up pre–social-media, so it was definitely a struggle to feel so obviously different from my peers. I would have loved for there to have been something like BGDB when I was growing up.”
