A piece which Valentino choreographed in a few days to fill a gap in the RB's World Ballet Day slot.

Amazing. Huge congratulations.

Can't quite see where Matthew Ball fits into the equation .........?

Moral support maybe.  Matt and Valentino are very close friends.

I keep thinking of how it's been better received than almost anything they've commissioned from a big name in years. (Flight Pattern is the main exception I think?)

Congratulations to Valentino Zucchetti on winning the Dance Award of the South Bank Awards Show for Scherzo. He was obviously really surprised to have won. For anyone who missed the show it will be on Sky Arts again on Sunday from 9.00 - 11.00.
