Big Boi’s A Ballerina

Tutus, slippers and tights — they’re not the first things that come to mind when you think of Antwan “Big Boi” Patton of Outkast. But the Boi’s changing that with the ballet he’ll be performing in on April 10th through the 13th in his hometown with the Atlanta Ballet Company. The ballet, big, will feature selections from the Outkast catalog (including “Bombs Over Baghdad” and “The Way You Move”) as well as music from his forthcoming album, with plans to take the show overseas in the Spring.

In an interview with Spin magazine about the project, Big Boi said, “I’ve dated a couple of ballerinas. But I was like, ‘That sounds kind of dope – let’s crank it up.’”
