In celebration of The Royal Ballet School’s centenary, The Royal Ballet revives gems from the Company archives. Bringing together dancers from The Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and The Royal Ballet School, these special performances honour an illustrious history, a luminous present and a vibrant future.
From the School’s roots under the guiding hand of Founder Ninette de Valois in 1926 and the creative genius of Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton, a century of inspired artistic vision has established an exceptional training tradition.
