Performer: Daniil Simkin

Sons of Echo, Daniil Simkins’ answer to Kings of the Dance, deserves wider recognition. A brave foray into gala territory without the usual classical repertoire.

An evening of sublime dancing, the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, presented a Dance Marathon of electric performances, supreme quality and memories to cherish.

Many world class performances to enjoy in this 20th edition of the annual Ballet Icons Gala.

A rare opportunity to see five male ballet superstars – notably Alban Lendorf, in great form long after injury sidelined him – in an intimate theater, in work exclusively by women.

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.
