Tune in on 6 November for a Celebration of Ballet!

This year we've teamed up with our fellow ballet companies across the UK to make Wednesday 6 November an exciting day full of spectacular ballet. Starting from 11am, each Company will be releasing an exclusive new video to their YouTube channel, all in the spirit of celebrating the joy of dance. Here's the schedule:

 

In a rehearsal studio, a dancer kneels as another dancer stretches their back over their bent knee.
A dancer lies in a press up position as another dancer wearing veiled trousers lifts their leg over them.

At 12pm you can head over to our YouTube channel to see Sky Above, Voices Within. Created by George Liang, Sky Above, Voices Within was created and performed earlier this year for Sketches and features Northern Ballet Leading Soloist Kevin Poeung alongside Guest Artist and Ability dancer Ruben Reuter. 

The piece is a journey where the dancers unique styles blend beautifully, echoing the harmony of the sky above. Through fluid movement and dynamic choreography, they celebrate their individual voices, inviting audiences to join in the exploration of self-expression and unity.

A dancer holds his face as another dancer leaps behind him with outstretched legs, looking down on the other dancer.
Two dancers stand hands on their bent knees. They look at each other as one grabs the other's shoulder.

Set your reminders and join us to get involved in the celebration!
