The students of English National Ballet School will be showcasing their skills at the School’s annual Summer Performances at the New Wimbledon Theatre in July.The programme features a blend of classical and contemporary works with choreography to highlight the versatility and breadth of our dancers’ training.

 

There will be three new exciting commissions by Daniela Cardim, Morgann Runacre-Temple, and Neil Flemming Brown. School teacher Juan Eymar has choreographed a classical piece for the three year groups and we will be revisiting former student, Stina Quagebeur’s, Apres Une Lecture De Danse. We are also excited to have Pompea Santoro staging repertoire by Mats Ek. Olga Semenovawill present character dance and students will present their winning choreographies.

This will be the last Summer Performance under the Directorship of Samira Saidi who steps down as Director of Dance in August. Her departure marks the end of five years at the School, during which the School has maintained an average 95% graduate employment rate in a range of national and international ballet for its emerging dancers.
