It is very difficult to fully police glass being taken into theatres. At ours we do police it well at doors into the theatre but there have been times when people have taken glass in bottles and glasses in their bags which we have found abandoned at the pick up. Bar staff sell drinks in plastic "glasses" if going into the auditorium and anyone who arrives at the door with a glass is given a plastic "glass" to put their drink in but it is impossible to see what is in their bag and if they go to the lengths of concealing it there is not a lot we can do. Thankfully it's a fairly rare occurrence.

Central boys days are very good, see their web site for updates

Thoroughly recommend Rambert

32 books on ballet wide variety , some old and several now out of print. Sadly no longer will have room for them. I want them to go to a good home. Will need to be collected. West Sussex . I don't want any money but am keen for them to go where they will be appreciated as local book dealer said take them to the tip!

I found Drosselmeyer rather bland for me, absolutely love Gary Avis in that role. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it and we were well attended at the local cinema with no technical problems. Nice start to Christmas.

Central School of Ballet also taking part.

We also really enjoyed seeing the dancers from Chile and an insight to their rehearsal of the work. The excerpt we saw showed what emotionally connected dancers they are.

Love all of Christopher Bruce's choreography

Yes not uncommon (bust reduction advice)

Exactly body shaming is not the only issue.

Look at the new program for younger students at Central, not every week and worth exploring.

If you look at school web sites they should tell you when applications open.

My granddaughter also danced with Northern Ballet a few years back and had a wonderful experience

Unfortunately all these strikes affect people who are powerless to do anything about them. Those in a position to do so will be unaffected by them so no real incentive. So sad.

Not in our experience, have had some high results from recordings
