It seems like a story ripped right from the reality show Dance Moms. Camille Sturdivant, a former member of the award-winning Blue Valley Dazzlers dance team, said she was discriminated against because she is black and says she has a text message to prove it.

It’s very obvious that the dancer, Sturdivant has a strong case and should prevail, if justice is available.
