Flamenco at its finest – a thrilling performance at Sadler’s Wells

To be explicit, Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía is explosive. But to describe this show as just a dance performance would be negligent. The absolute power radiating from City Center’s stage this week comes not only from the dancers, but the musicians and the music, from traditions carried on in caves across the south of Spain.

Carlos Acosta's Carmen is full of exuberance and first class dancing but it doesn't quite set the stage on fire. 

With five founding dancers in BRB2, this inaugural dance salad was embellished with other ingredients including the addition of seven members from the main company. 

A slick and stylish celebration at the Coliseum of this great company's achievements over 70 years.

Northern Ballet reaches its half-century with a gala at Leeds Grand Theatre featuring highlights from its "greatest hits".

For three decades, Acosta has given his audiences performances of pure pleasure. As someone who had to work against the odds to reach the top, he became one of those rare classical ballet dancers whose brilliance and incredible technical achievements, wrapped up with convincing characterisation and humble charisma, have set stages alight around the world.
