AN EVENING of world-class ballet is coming to Guildford next month, offering a mixture of classic and contemporary dance.
To mark the company’s 40th anniversary, Ballet Central is performing at the Yvonne Arnaud theatre on Thursday, June 8.
Organisers say this is a chance to meet future stars, as the class of 32 will soon graduate and go on to the next stage of their careers.
The show is created around Ballet Central’s relationships with leading choreographers and dance industry influencers who provide the opportunity for students to work on new pieces or spectacular revivals of much-loved classic ballets and theatrical productions.
This year’s programme, created by Artistic Director Kate Coyne, features some familiar stories alongside exciting contemporary pieces and brand-new work, created especially for the show.
They say audiences can fall in love with classical Pas de Deux, The Two Pigeons, and be inspired by earthy Pas de Trois, Monotones I, both from one of the 20th century’s most distinctive choreographic voices, Sir Frederick Ashton.
There is a new take on Snow White thanks to Michael Pink’s shadowy retelling, Mirror, Mirror and be captivated by Dextera’s exploration of the Pygmalion myth created by Sophie Laplane.
And there will be new choreography from rising star Morgann Runacre-Temple and all new work from distinguished contemporary choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller.
A spokesperson said: “If you love dance, then don’t miss out.”
The event takes place from 7.30pm on Thursday, June 8, with tickets from £23, with concessions from £12, and multi-buy discounts available.
