Despite a lack of representation, women of color have long blazed trails in the world of ballet. Janet Collins and Maria Tallchief became the first Black and Native American prima ballerinas, respectively, in the mid-20th century. Decades later in 2015, Misty Copeland became the first Black principal dancer at the American Ballet Theater. Dancer Steena Hernandez started ballet in West Texas when she was just three years old and was often one of the few Latina dancers in her classes.

Los Texmaniacs have been a staple in the San Antonio conjunto music scene since 1997. The band won a Grammy Award for Best Regional Mexican Music Album and have played in various projects, including a 1994 recording session with the Rolling Stones. Bajo sexto player Max Baca is the frontman of Los Texmaniacs, which has become a family affair — Baca’s nephew, Josh, is the band’s accordionist.
