Ms Thompson said dancing to heavy metal was not as strange as it might seem.
“Obviously, compared to your average classical ballet music it’s very, very different, but the music of Black Sabbath is very instrumental,” she said.
“There are a lot of great beats to it that do really complement the way you can choreograph.”
The 22-year-old also said that while it was a ballet, the costumes the dancers wore were not traditional.
“We wear black all-in-ones,” she said. “Act two, we wear sort of casual attire, like jeans and jackets. We also incorporate some Black Sabbath original T-shirt designs.”
