An evening at Sadler's Wells emphasises that dance is a powerful tool for everyone and anyone. 

Even within a line-up boasting some of the greatest international stars from across the world, it is the youngest couple, making their UK debuts, who captivate the audience.

American Ballet Theatre kicks off its fall season with Ratmansky's culinary creation based on the two-act 1924 ballet, originally created as Schlagobers. 

Back on stage after stopping for the lockdown, Le Corsaire by José Carlos Martinez for Rome Opera Ballet creates a narrative ballet for our time, with an ancient flavour but a contemporary attack.

An evening of sparkle and bravura at London's international ballet gala. 

Perhaps ABT's disclaimer in the program notes should have simply said: "When you watch Le Corsaire, prepare to be both offended and entertained. We hope you'll be more entertained than offended."

There was complete assurance in Skylar Brandt's performance and there’s no doubt that she’s a bona fide contender for a future slot as a principal dancer.

Isabella Boylston made an impressive debut in MacMillan's treasured classic amid some fine performances from the supporting cast.

These all-Ratmansky programs are a clear indication that ABT made the right move when they took him on as their resident choreographer.

With INTENSIO, a program of new dances he commissioned, Simkin is clearly making a major move.

Marcel Gomes gave us a Death to remember in Jooss' Green Table.

Isabella Boylston, Cassandra Trenary and Herman Cornejo are exemplary in Mark Morris's new After You, a ballet of simple grace.

ABT has always been a place where stars shine brightest and this night had a whole constellation of them.
