Black people do ballet too. And we always have. 💜
Pointe Black was created because representation in ballet still matters. Too many Black dancers grow up without seeing themselves reflected in studios, on stages, or in leadership within the ballet world.
We’re here to change that.
✨ Ballet without barriers
✨ A space where everyBODY belongs
✨ Training, performance and community
✨ Black dancers being seen, celebrated and supported
This is why Pointe Black exists: to redefine what the ballet world looks like for the next generation.

🔥 AMAPIANO MEETS BALLET🔥
Tag a friend who needs to be in this room 💜
AmaBallet is unlike anything you've tried before, and you do NOT need to be a dancer to do it. If you can feel the music, you're already halfway there.
AmaBallet is a unique fusion with amapiano, gqom, afro tech etc and ballet and we LOVE IT.
Taught by the incredible [ ]— this class will have you moving in ways you didn't think were possible!!
No experience. No judgement. Just vibes and good music.
