For the last 11 years, professional dancers with Ballet 5:8 in Orland Park have utilized the artform to not only express their passion, but to tell stories to a community lacking substantial art resources.

Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager believes that commitment is important.“There is very little in this area of town for art,” Rubio Slager says. “There is a lack of awareness of how important the arts are, and we have a chance to educate in a way where know one else is.”

Miranda Rubio has been dancing professionally with the company for the past three years. Being of Hispanic heritage and White passing, Rubio says she’s utilized her positionality to ensure that her primarily White colleagues felt comfortable dancing outside of their comfort zones. Among these conversations of cultural awareness will also come stories addressing mental health issues.
