Back in August I gave you details of our newest classical ballet Company, Ballet Theatre UK. The Company will be dancing The Nutcracker in a couple of weeks time, incorporating 3 spectacular sets and over 60 beautifully hand crafted costumes.
The Nutcracker features such favourites as The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Waltz of the Flowers, The Russian Trepak, The Dance of the Reed pipes and the world famous Waltz of the Snowflakes, to name but a few. What better way to spread some sparkling Christmas magic as the festive season approaches !
I hear that some venues are now sold-out, so if you, your family & friends think a dusting of waltzing Snowflakes could be the perfect way to kick-start the celebrations, here are all the details you need :
Here are some video clips of the Company dancing.
I recently interviewed three of the Company dancers, Alexandra Fern, Amy Coughlan and Natalie Cawte.

Thank you so much for your comment Elise. It was very kind of you and I am thrilled that it led me to your wonderful blog. Although I am not a dancer I have adored ballet since I was a little girl and it is such a thrill to discover you here. Thankyou again. x
ReplyDeleteLovely.. do you have information abt ballet performances in places like India? I would love to go for one if there is one in my city..
ReplyDeleteI was a dance major in college before I switched to education. Part of what I loved about that major were the live performance requirements. I cannot wait to take my daughter to the ballet!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I would love to follow if you follow as well. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to look at this days! Thank you Elise.
