The Royal Ballet on-stage class, The Royal Opera House, London - April 23
We’ll be at the Royal Opera House on Friday April 21st to watch The Royal Ballet class onstage. An opportunity to watch The Royal Ballet dancers take class on the main stage. Tickets are only £20 which is a steal and an opportunity to have the theatre experience for a fraction of normal theatre ticket prices.
As always there is LOTS on at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden so take a peek at their website here. There are full length ballets including Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, as well as visiting companies, Pride celebrations, Tea Dances and tours. Pretty much something for everyone’s palate.
There is so much on that it’s hard to choose the highlights but we really hope this helps you find yourself a little dance inspiration. Watching a live performance is truly one of the most wonderful experiences. Do let us know if you visit any theatres or watch any performances. We love to see what you are enjoying @balletfusionltd on Insta and Facebook.
