‘So what you’re saying is that there have been loads of black ballet dancers…’

Onisere wants to be a ballet dancer but there’s just one problem: she’s black and she’s never seen any other ballet dancers who look like her. Enter, the ballet queen, Simbira, who takes Onisere, and her annoying, football mad little brother Tayo, on a fantastical journey through the history of black British ballet.

Join us for a fun filled session of dance and storytelling to find out more about the black dancers who blazed a trail through British ballet! For children aged 4-8 years old.

This performance is free to attend.  Children must be accompanied by a ticket holding adult.

Booking is essential. If you suddenly can't make the event, please cancel your booking to enable someone else to attend.
