The BalletBoyz: strength beyond muscle

A very welcome and hilarious return to the UK from Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, this time at Sadler’s Wells, they offer familiar and new works.

Six works, including two world premieres, made up the latest program from Parsons Dance. Thoroughly joyful, the audience were sent home buzzing.

17 years after its premiere, Andrea Miller’s BLUSH, set on her company, GALLIM, returned to entrance and perplex in equal measure at New York’s 92nd St Y.

Juliano Nunes’ Romeo and Juliet for Philadelphia Ballet works on all fronts: as a visual spectacle with highly original choreography and as a vehicle for cultivating memorable performances.

Dutch National Ballet give an exemplary account of a quadruple bill comprised of the late Hans van Manen’s works. It’s a wonderful tribute to the great master choreographer.

Another tick for the Ballet Nights team, the audience at Cadogan Hall enjoying a varied and exceptional programme of new and legacy works.
