Tuesday 10 November 2026, 1:00 - 5:00pm Stratford Library Screening Families Adults Young Adults STEM Free Step into the world of Black British Ballet like never before with a mind-blowing VR experience that brings the dance to life. Black dancers have been present in British ballet from at least the 1940s onwards when two Jamaicans formed Les Ballets Nègres in 1946. However, the presence and contribution of these pioneers has been largely forgotten in Britain. Into the Light: The Pioneers of Black British Ballet exhibition aims to change this by celebrating the lives of these trailblazers.
