Performer: James Pett

The increasingly popular Ballet Nights performs at the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time to welcoming crowds.

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

Ballet Nights is an ambitious dance project that began two and a half years ago and was the brainchild of founder, Jamiel Devernay-Laurence. Lots to applaud while celebrating its tenth programme.

For one night only, audiences in Frankfurt were treated to some world class ballet on the expansive stage of the Jahrhunderthalle.

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.

Jamiel Devernay-Laurence's Ballet Nights series is growing rapidly in appeal, just one year after its launch. With ever more ambitious projects afoot and a packed Cadogan Hall, it's worth seeing.

With the dance world currently awash with some seriously exciting talent, Bachtrack have picked out a few thrilling names from around the world who we're looking forward to watching next season.
