Ballerinas On Broadway

Directed by Janet Lewis MBE, this gem of a ballet company presents the professional principal dancers from the award winning English Youth Ballet who appear throughout the UK in EYB's full length classical ballets.

Virtuoso is an exciting and contrasting evening ranging from the romantic ballet era of Les Sylphides through to Gershwin-Motion Pictures Hollywood musicals.

The white and black swan pas de deux from Swan Lake is followed by the famous Spring Waters pas de deux very rarely seen outside Russia and made famous by the Bolshoi Ballet. The grand finale of the evening is the wonderful Gershwin ballet based on the Hollywood musicals era of the thirties and forties.

The classical ballet dancers change their image and become Garland, Astaire Gene Kelly Cyd Charisse. Choreographed brilliantly by Ian Mackenzie Stewart, the EYB dancers present a dazzling Hollywood finale to the evening.
