Ruth Essel, 30, founder of Pointe Black Ballet School, looks in the mirror as she does her hair in her bedroom of her flat in south London, Britain, July 16, 2023. The iconic image of a ballet dancer remains light-skinned, even though the art form - which originated in the Italian Renaissance as court entertainment - has expanded globally with stars from Asia, South America and Cuba. Essel wants to speed up change by disrupting the status quo. "We incorporate African steps and music styles in our shows," she said. "I have afros. I have plaits. I have perm rolls. I have twist. I have Afro puff bunches. And it's really just about celebrating the person no matter where they come from." REUTERS/Alishia Abodunde SEARCH "ABODUNDE BALLET SCHOOL" FOR THIS STORY.

Passport pictures of Ruth Essel, 30, founder of Pointe Black Ballet School, as a child are seen on the wall of her bedroom in south London, Britain, July 16, 2023. It was a pointed comment about her Afro-braided hair that spurred Essel to carve out what she calls a safe space for Black dancers. The founder of Pointe Black Ballet School in London said when she was a child, teachers and assistants all but punished her for not fitting the traditional ballerina mould, as if she was using her race as some kind of rebellion. Those challenges inspired Essel, a deputy programme manager at a unit of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, to establish Pointe Black in 2020 at the age of 26. "I wanted there to be a Black environment. I wanted there to be people who looked like me. I wanted there to be a teacher that looked like me," she said.    REUTERS/Alishia Abodunde SEARCH "ABODUNDE BALLET SCHOOL" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.

President Joe Biden promised to replace the hardline policies of former President Donald Trump, including the COVID-era public health order Title 42, with a more humane immigration system. The new Biden regulation allows migrants once again to ask for asylum at the border, but wait in Mexico for a slot on the app or risk a sped-up deportation process that could be conducted while they are held in detention.

President Joe Biden promised to replace the hardline policies of former President Donald Trump, including the COVID-era public health order Title 42, with a more humane immigration system. The new Biden regulation allows migrants once again to ask for asylum at the border, but wait in Mexico for a slot on the app or risk a sped-up deportation process that could be conducted while they are held in detention. But in the first month of the new policy, Reuters found tens of thousands of people are waiting in dangerous Mexican border towns to snag a spot on the app, according to U.S. and Mexican officials, amid warnings from humanitarian groups of deteriorating sanitary conditions at migrant camps.

Ruth Essel, 30, founder of Pointe Black Ballet School, poses for a picture with her students Maya, 10, Kalani, 8, Dior, 10, and Kioni, 10, as they gather to watch the musical film 'The Wiz' at Essel's flat in south London, Britain, May 29, 2023. It was a pointed comment about her Afro-braided hair that spurred Essel to carve out what she calls a safe space for Black dancers. The founder of Pointe Black Ballet School in London said when she was a child, teachers and assistants all but punished her for not fitting the traditional ballerina mould, as if she was using her race as some kind of rebellion. Those challenges inspired Essel, a deputy programme manager at a unit of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, to establish Pointe Black in 2020 at the age of 26. "I wanted there to be a Black environment. I wanted there to be people who looked like me. I wanted there to be a teacher that looked like me," she said.    REUTERS/Alishia Abodunde SEARCH "ABODUNDE BALLET SCHOOL" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES. 

Maya, 10, smiles as Kalani, 8, and Ruth Essel, 30, founder of Pointe Black Ballet School, sing along to the musical film 'The Wiz' at Ruth's flat in south London, Britain, May 29, 2023. Maya, a student at Pointe Black and another ballet school, enjoys exploring various styles. "I get to experience different types of ballet, different music," said the aspiring astrophysicist, after a flawless solo rehearsal for an upcoming show. "I like ballet, so I'd like to do it but hopefully my career won't get in the way." REUTERS/Alishia Abodunde SEARCH "ABODUNDE BALLET SCHOOL" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.

Essel, who teaches all the classes in her school, sees it as a safe space for Black dancers to get counselling, and a way to create a community-based network of studios, dancers and teachers. "When I was 15, I wanted to apply to dance colleges, but I was discouraged because I was told that the ballet world just wasn't really ready for someone who looked like me," Essel recalled.
