Since its founding in 1961under the artistic leadership of Sonia Gaskell, the Dutch National Ballet has always been a diversity company both in nationality and ethnicity. It is one of the few companies that from its inception engaged “Black" ballet dancers, dancers with heritage from the African diaspora.


Dancing Diversity: Celebrating the History of the Black Ballet Artists of Dutch National Ballet photo exhibition was originally conceived in celebration the Black Achievement. The Dancing Diversity live event was held October 20 2019 presented by Dutch National Ballet, and co-present by Artistic Director Ted Brandsen and Black Achievement Month John Leerdam.
