 Inspirational and innovative, Ballet Black is a neo-classical ballet company which honours the traditions of classical ballet while breaking new ground with cutting edge choreography.

The company is now an essential part of the classical ballet landscape and is the perfect showcase for dancers of black and Asian descent, as well as acting as a platform for both new and established choreographers.

Not surprisingly, Ballet Black attracts dancers, choreographers and designers from around the world. In recent years, the company has worked with Richard Alston, Shobana Jeyasingh and Liam Scarlett; this time there will be new works from choreographers including Martin Lawrance, Antonia Franceschi and Will Tuckett.
