RJC Dance Joins The Ballet

Tonight, Thursday 3rd June, RJC Dance will feature in the British Ballet Gala at the Royal Albert Hall, a fundraising event organised by Darcy Bussell. Northern Ballet chose us as their Community Dance Company, meaning we will receive a share of the funds raised and stream a video of our work on the night.

For the very first time, dancers from all eight of Britain’s main ballet companies – Ballet Black, Birmingham Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, New Adventures, Northern Ballet, Rambert, Scottish Ballet and The Royal Ballet – perform pieces from their repertoire on the same stage. The Gala is hosted by former Royal Ballet Principal Darcey Bussell and television presenter Ore Oduba. Accompanied by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia under the direction of conductor Paul Murphy, the British Ballet Charity Gala is an act of solidarity by Britain’s ballet industry to raise awareness of and funds for their work, and a celebration of their artform.

Proceeds from both the live gala on Thursday 3 June and the streaming on ROH Stream and ENB at Home from Friday 18 June are to be shared primarily between the participating companies, with each company further nominating a community dance company of their choice who will receive a waterfall donation. Northern Ballet have chosen RJC Dance as their Community Dance Company, and a the video below will be streamed to guests at the Royal Albert Hall.

To watch the event, visit The English National Ballet website before 18th July 2021, where you can buy a ticket to livestream it.
