Does anyone know how long it is available for?

I also wrote the Royal Ballet about the queues in the Chinese dance and I got a good acknowledgement from Rachel Hollings the Artistic Admin.

I was very impressed to come across this news from Scottish Ballet about their attitude to the Roma people and how they changed the way they represented Gypsy or Traveller people in the 'Secret Theatre' production over Christmas. I have been impressed by the standard of ballet they perform and now I like them for their attitude as well.

I was listening to an interview with France Chung in which she said that one of the reasons she joined SFBallet is because they pay so well.

I wouldn't hold your breath - it's been quite a while since it was supposed to be on and the repeats seems to come pretty soon after first broadcasts.

In fact several ballets have been repeated on SkyArts within a short space of time. Sadly this doesn't include the RB Rhapsody and Two Pigeons programme which got lost on the day of the move to terrestrial when chaos reigned supreme and no-one could get at any of the programmes.
This was one I hadn't seen before and I am hoping it's screened soon and we all get to watch it.

A heart does not seem the right response to this news.

Thank you to @annekh510 for reminding me of the issues of queues (pigtails). After writing my response (above) I thought I should write to the RB which I duly did. Below is email and the reply:
to the RB
I want to commend the RB for updating the Chinese Dance in Nutcracker, it does not make me feel uncomfortable any more. However, it was when listening to Phil Chan of Final Bow for Yellowface that I realised the pigtail is a symbol of oppression and as such offensive to people of Chinese descent and others. I would like to suggest a different wig design to do away with this and hopefully in showing consideration many more people will be attracted to this wonderful art form.the Reply
Your message has been forwarded to the Ballet Company. Thank you for taking the time to write to us about the wigs in the Chinese Dance. The conversation about eliminating outdated stereotypes has been really meaningful and we too hope that we can make ballet relevant and attractive for diverse audiences and performers. The choreographic changes were made to avoid causing offence and this is another element for us to consider. I will take this forward to the artistic team for discussion and, in the meantime, thank you for taking the time to raise this point.
I hope you will have opportunity to enjoy The Nutcracker when it next returns.
Best wishes

I've just watched Ballet Black's short film Like Water. I found it a very powerful and poignant work.
It is "on demand" and costs £3 to hire.
just watched this and I would add hopeful to the description.
