We are a professional ballet company for dancers of black & Asian descent. We bring ballet to a more culturally diverse audience by celebrating black and Asian dancers in ballet. Our ultimate goal is to see a fundamental change in the number of black & Asian dancers in mainstream ballet companies

Story

After 10 very happy years at 12 Lisson Grove, the building has been sold to commercial property developers and we have to move! We have found a lovely community centre not too far away, but it is in need of some serious fixing up: it is a bigger space with proper ceiling height (no more bumps on the head for our dancers when being lifted!) and will allow us to expand over the coming years, but first we need to make it fit-for-purpose for the company by installing a dance floor, mirrors and ballet barres. 

We are extremely fortunate to have been selected for NPO funding by the Arts Council, which starts in April 2018, and will allow us to build a staffing infrastructure at Ballet Black, but first we need a proper home so we can continue making all our brilliant work! If you can help, you will be contributing to the future of Ballet Black and help us make a significant difference to our day-to-day working conditions. Any amount, great or small will get us closer to our target!

Thank you for taking the time to read this - everyone here at Ballet Black appreciates it!
