The Dutch National Ballet helped shake off those winter blues with a mixed programme that highlighted ballet’s love affair with Latin rhythms and movement.

A rich mix of pure dance and powerful music shows the company in very fine form towards the end of a demanding season.

What the young dancers lack in finesse they make up in boisterousness. Sidorova's dance vocabulary seems endless. Kuindersma's Mesmer radiates into the theatre.
