English National Ballet's Summer Party

[zxDaveM]

On Wednesday, 27th June, I was lucky enough to attend ENB's Summer Party at the Orangery, in Kensington Palace's Gardens. We had some dancing, and English sparkly wine, celebrity's donated swan themed paintings to auction - the first 6 lots were done on the night in a live auction - the rest can still be bid for here:

Here are some photos of the fun:

It's nice to see the photographs, Dave. The Orangery is the most beautiful place (I've had morning coffee there!). It's interesting to see Ivan Putrov there. I wonder whether he is planning to do something with ENB.

Thanks Aileen. As for Ivan - think he's just friends with some of the dancers there (my guess!)
