This is the 19th LCB production and a remarkable total of 7,500 children have auditioned over this time, with just 669 making it into the company...
A hit with me and I'm so glad it's a great success in the company's home and a great calling card for touring. It's a particularly useful broadening of Scottish Ballet's repertoire.

Rojo has declared that her ambition as artistic director of ENB is to make audiences hold their breath. I certainly did during Le Jeune Homme et la Mort...
The result is oddly old-fashioned - even more so than John Cranko’s version, which the Canadians had performed since 1964.
As I say ultimately the kids on the afternoon I was there had a good old time. But I'd like to think that something where the steps assume greater significance will show little people even more of the joy of dance.
The highlight of the program is Lorena Feijóo's return to the stage in more than one ballet during the evening. After being out on maternity leave for a year ...is dancing better than ever.
A Bend in the River is innovative on many levels, but, like all successful advancements, feels both true to its sources and utterly unique.

The season began with a high-energy mixed bill which showed the company on sparkling form.
