Founded in 2001 by Artistic Director, Cassa Pancho MBE, Ballet Black is a professional ballet company that exists to make a fundamental change in the diversity of mainstream classical ballet – on stage, behind the scenes, and among audiences and participants.
We do this by creating world-class new ballet that is bold and distinctive, fresh and surprising, and challenges perceptions; devised with and for dancers of black and Asian descent, promoting greater inclusion in ballet training, and growing audiences and diversity.
