As part of Birmingham International Dance Festival we're delighted to be continuing our partnership with the Black British Ballet project to deliver FREE ballet workshops on Wednesday 22 June for professional dancers and dance students and a Q&A session, all in collaboration with Ballet Soul.

The workshops are led by Ben Love, Artistic Director of Ballet Soul. Ben is one of the pioneers of black British ballet and a former soloist with the Portuguese National Ballet, London City Ballet and Northern Ballet. 

Ballet Soul’s work is concerned with athleticism and the potential of the human body, exploring the human soul and the body’s capacity for deep physicality. How the body conveys emotion, the extremeness of bodyline articulation and dynamic shifts in energy and flow are all focal points of their work. Their influence in style comes from placing Africanist movement values on classical ballet and traditional dance vocabularies.
