"Dance...In Color" is a collection of images by photographer Keda Sharber that depict the strength, beauty, athleticism, and artistry of ballerinas and contemporary dancers of color in Houston and beyond. Each image is reflection of the greatness that we hold individually and collectively that challenges us to dream as big as we dare.

Keda Sharber is a Houston-based storyteller who uses photography, film and the written/spoken word to investigate and reveal the beautifully complex truths of the Black community. Her work shows us that we are so much more than what others have deemed possible.
