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, Sandie Mae, who takes Onisere, and her annoying, football mad little brother Tayo, on a fantastical journey through the history of Black British ballet. A journey that begins in 1940s London, and takes in Glasgow, New York, Paris, Los Angeles and Johannesburg before landing back in the UK.

The Black British Ballet project by Oxygen Arts aims to fundamentally change the way that ballet is seen and operates in Britain. They are creating a range of products and activities to share the hidden history of black dancers in British ballet, bringing ballet to new and diverse audiences and driving change in the industry.
