Ballet After Dark is an organization that provides somatic interventions, trauma-informed care, dance therapy and holistic methods to encourage black survivors (youth and women) of various levels of trauma and sexual violence to heal their bodies using movement. We define somatic intervention as reconnecting and regaining control of our mind and body through movement, various trauma-informed practices, classes and resources focused on providing holistic healing resources with positive impacts and outcomes. Our goal is to create a community of survivors.

The Great Gatsby Gala is held in December and features a performance from the BAD Ballet Company and honors community members and leaders that demonstrate a strong dedication and passion for community enrichment and empowerment. This is a formal event bringing the opulent extravagance of the Great Gatsby. Dress to impress!
