Cleveland Inner City Ballet will be celebrating Black History Month with a debut of their Professional Performing Company. CICB will debut four socially conscious contemporary ballet's on Saturday, February 25, 2017 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at Cleveland State University- Main Classroom Auditorium, 1899 East 22nd. Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44115.
The evening will feature CICB's Professional Performance Company in ballets entitled "Hoodie," "March," "Black Butterfly," and "Nobody Not Me." The event will also feature presentations from the organizations dance education program. Noted local pianist Karin Tooley will accompany the performances. 
This event is free and open to the public. 
"Cleveland Inner City Ballet has always been committed to presenting classically themed ballets through our education and performance programs. However, we believe it is equally important to develop ballets that explore current issues affecting our communities. We feel strongly about promoting dialogue and using ballet as a medium to do so." says Founding Artistic Director Chanda Ford-White. "The ballet "Hoodie," for example, is a complex piece which explores issues of racial profiling and police brutality." she continued.
CICB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides professional dance education and performance experiences in a collaborative environment to support those cut off from the arts by socioeconomic, race, and class issues. The organization also offers students valuable exposure to the full spectrum of career opportunities in the arts.
