The world of dance has suffered a tragic loss with the passing of Sierra Leonean ballerina Michaela Mabinty DePrince at the young age of 29. DePrince, who gained worldwide recognition for her extraordinary talent and inspiring story, has passed away. Her family announced the news on her personal Instagram page and later confirmed it in a joint statement on Facebook. Born Mabinty Bangura in Kenema, Sierra Leone, on January 6, 1995, DePrince's life took a dramatic turn when she was brought to an orphanage at the age of three during the devastating civil war. DePrince's talent and grace shone brightly on the stage, as seen in her appearances on the TV show Dancing with the Stars and Beyonce's "Lemonade" music video album. Peter Renaday, Voice Actor of Master Splinter in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, Dies at 89.

RIP Michaela DePrince
