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

Osipova has completely shaken away any inhibitions of classical training to dance more freely than ever before.
