En Pointe: Ballet Black

Facebook is celebrating some of the most inspirational young people and communities in the UK through a series of short films. The "Beyond the Screen" series consists of six shorts which shine a light on the powerful and personal stories behind some truly inspirational groups of people.

Ballet Black by Matt Kay, is a professional ballet company for international dancers of black and Asian descent. The aim of the group is to promote and celebrate diversity in ballet.

The film follows Cassa Pancho, founder of Ballet Black as she seeks to raise the profile of minority dancers in the world of ballet and provide role models to young, aspiring black and Asian dancers.
