Ballerinas stand in the wings as they wait to perform on stage on October 26, 2024 in London, England. Pointe Black ballerinas celebrate the journey of the Windrush generation in a Afro-Carribean ballet style performance for Black History Month. Founded by Ruth Essel, Pointe Black is a Black owned ballet school based in south London. Fuelled by years of racial discrimination as a young Black ballerina, Ruth created Pointe Black to provide a safe space for Black children and adults to access ballet.
