Ballet Black has just announced the itinerary for its autumn tour.   It will present a double bill consisting of My Sister, The Serial Killer by Cassa Pancho, based on Oyinkan Braithwaite's novel, and Chanel DaSilva's A Shadow Work.

The company will visit

• Watford on 8 Oct 2025
• Durham on 14 Oct 2025
• Nottingham on 24 Oct 2025
• Coventry on 4 Nov 2025
• Marlowe on 18 Nov 2025
• Sadler's Wells 26 to 29 Nov 2025.

Sadly, the company will miss Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York this year, even though it has danced to packed houses in some of those cities on previous tours.  Nor does it plan to visit Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Nottingham is the nearest venue for us, and Durham for the Scots and Northumbrians.

It is important to note that Ballet Black is more than a touring company.   It has a Junior School with classes in West and East London and an associates programme.   One of the teachers is Cassa Pancho, and I am proud to say that I once attended her class at the Barbican.   I could barely keep up as I was by far the oldest member, but I learnt a lot from her.   Ballet Black also offers online classes and makes some great films. 

Through these and other activities, Ballet Black makes a valuable contribution to the cultural and social life of this country.
