The Ballerina is a 9-foot (2.7 m) bronze sculpture by Mike Larsen, installed in Oklahoma City's Civic Center Music Hall, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The statue commemorates the legacy of Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, Moscelyne Larkin, Majorie Tallchief, and Maria Tallchief, five Native American women ballet dancers named "Oklahoma's treasures" by former Governor Frank Keating.[1] The sculpture was unveiled in 2007.[2]
