'So what you're saying is that there have been loads of black ballet dancers…' 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, Simbira, 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 40's London, and takes them to Glasgow, New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and back to the UK.
Introduced by English National Ballet's former Artistic Director, Tamara Rojo, this magical 32-page illustrated book will delight children aged 4-8 years old. The book is based on the PhD research of Dr Sandie Bourne into the history of black dancers in British ballet.
