Ballet Icons Gala 2025 was the 19th since its inception. One can only applaud the dedication of Olga Balakleets, Founder and Artistic Director, for bringing many of the world’s most eminent dancers.

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

The catchphrase for the Staatsballet’s La Sylphide is 'Kilts and kicks’ or ‘kilts and beats’. A real feast for the eyes alas, it is over in no time!

Organised by Berlin State Ballet audience’s darling, the principal dancer Polina Semionova, the gala Polina & Friends and its stellar cast literally left the house roaring from enthusiasm.

Most of the pieces were choreographed at a similarly demanding level, with speed, precision and immaculate timing as necessities.

Unbound by restrictions, they’ve been given free rein to create, implement and demonstrate to the world what contemporary ballet looks like. Hint: it looks great.

Alas, putting two stars (Kochetkova and Cornejo) together is no guarantee of success and that was certainly the case here.

Resident choreographer Yuri Possokhov’s Optimistic Tragedy is dedicated “to those who sacrificed their lives for future generations.” 

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

The San Francisco Ballet's 2016 season culminates in a dazzling, masterful rendition of John Cranko's Onegin, bringing passion, fury and drama to the War Memorial Opera House stage.

A vast world of movement rose in celebration of the body’s athleticism and its subtle connection to emotions and personality. 

San Francisco Ballet opens Program 2 of the 2016 season with pieces by two cornerstone American choreographers, George Balanchine and Mark Morris, and a world première by British choreographer Liam Scarlett.

San Francisco Ballet's first program of 2016, featuring Forsythe's rarely performed Pas/Parts and the revival of 7 for Eight and Magrittomania, leads the way into an exciting season.

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

San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker delivers world class entertainment and features such stars as Maria Kochetkova, Joan Boada, Vanessa Zahorian, Frances Chung, Jaime Garcia Castilla. A holiday classic with a fresh spin that's a must-see for adults and children alike.

It must be exciting to be a member of San Francisco Ballet, America’s oldest ballet company, founded in 1933. These classically trained dancers are given the opportunity to sample many wonderful new works, rather than a repertoire of old traditional masterpieces.

From the moment the curtain went up, there was no doubt that San Francisco Ballet had another evening of fabulous ballet in store for the audience at Sadler’s Wells, many of whom had been there the night before for Programme A.
