The Ballet Bag

Royal Ballet founder Ninette de Valois once said, “Classical Ballet will NEVER die”. To that we might add: Ballet ROCKS!!. We think it is the ultimate art form: it is music, movement and meaning rolled into one. It gives its audience the chance to draw personal interpretations and reflect on subconscious themes which lie beyond the surface of fairytales and tutus.

at this number ‘together’ makes a big difference

[ryanishka]

Mariinsky’s corps is so unique because they aren’t props, they move together as one living, breathing entity and it’s incredible to watch
