Strictly Dancing - Paquita/Nine Sinatra Songs/Daphnis and Chloe
Paquita - The sparkling Paquita showcases the skill, grandeur and panache of the 19th-century master choreographer, Marius Petipa. Here BRB dances just the exuberant last act, with its rapturous pas de deux and scintillating ensemble.
Nine Sinatra Songs - Passions are stirring when Twyla Tharp salutes Frank Sinatra. In Nine Sinatra Songs seven couples tango, waltz and jive, gloriously celebrating Frank Sinatra, the 1950s and the seductive thrill of ballroom dancing. Each of the dances passionately details one aspect of love and desire, bestowing on each song its own distinct identity.
Daphnis and Chloë - Frederick Ashton, dance legend and founder choreographer of the Royal Ballet companies, opens up a pastoral love story of passion and pirates, Daphnis and Chloë. This is a major acquisition for BRB, as Daphnis and Chloë has never before been seen in the UK outside The Royal Ballet. In Ashton’s exquisitely amorous and surprisingly modern dance, red blood stirs every aching ancient heart.
