How can I find out about future performances?

Please check out our Performances page. If nothing is listed, it means we are in the process of planning new work. Signing up to our mailing list guarantees you automatic updates about the Company’s latest news.

What age are your children’s classes for?

At the moment, we run classes for three to eight year olds. Boys and girls are both very welcome. Check out the Ballet School link for details. We are always aiming to expand; if you do not see a class suitable for you/your child’s age group, please send us an email with BALLET SCHOOL in the title and we will let you know if/when we start any new classes.

I read that Cassa Pancho wrote a dissertation about black dancers in ballet. Where can I get a copy?

Unfortunately, “All Things Black and Beautiful” is no longer available for view, but if you are a student or journalist who would like to interview Cassa for an article or school project, please send us an email and write SCHOOL PROJECT/ARTICLE in the subject line. We try to answer all questions, but at certain times of year, we are inundated with requests. Your patience is appreciated.

Where can I send my CV/resume?

Please send us you CV/resume to balletblack@gmail.com and write DANCER CV in the subject line. Please do not attach the text, keep it in the body of the email. Photographs can be attached if necessary.

When are your next auditions?

If you would like to audition for Ballet Black, please email us your CV/resume with DANCER CV in the subject line and we will automatically let you know of future audition dates and locations.

I am a choreographer/designer/photographer and would like to submit my work/discuss working with you
– how can I do so?

Please send us an email – we are always happy to hear from new people, but please keep in mind we often have our repertoire and designs planned at least a year in advance and we are a ballet company.

Do you have a phone number I can call?

Why haven’t I had a response to my email?

We receive hundreds of emails each week, so perhaps we haven’t reached yours yet. Otherwise, make sure you have
done the following:
• If you are writing for the attention of the Artistic Director, please note that she doesn’t like to be referred to as Sir!
• Are you asking a question that has already been answered somewhere on the site?
• If you have sent an email with an attachment, we may not open it. Please re-send with your question/information/CV in the
body of the email text.
