Ballet Nights

Age guidance 5+

Ballet Nights arrives in Hull for the first time - the next stop on a UK tour already seen in London, Manchester, Brighton, Richmond, Leicester, Leeds, Glasgow and Darlington, and at the Edinburgh Fringe.

One night only, as always: a night of dance that exists once, and is remembered long after.

This Hull debut brings the UK touring debut of Lou Beyne and Jaat Benoot, stars of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, to the city for the first time - a rare chance to see two internationally celebrated dancers from one of Europe's most respected companies on a Hull stage. They're joined by Alessandra Bramante and George Liang, soloists of Northern Ballet, bringing one of the region's own leading companies home to a Yorkshire audience.

International voices continue with B.DANCE, Taiwan's celebrated voice in dance innovation, marking a landmark moment for the platform's mission to bring world-class dance beyond London and into the UK's regional cities. Contemporary dance is brought sharply into focus with James Wilton Dance, the powerhouse company and social media sensation known for its raw physicality and genre-defying choreography, alongside Guy Salim, worldwide creative, choreographer and dance artist.

New creation is platformed through a new Ballet Nights commission by Liam Woodvine and Taylor Hughes, supported by The Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement, while Ballet Central represents the new futures shaping the artform's next generation.

Ballet Nights welcomes Jamie Body as host and compère for the evening.

Eight cities and one Fringe run into this UK tour, Ballet Nights brings its tradition to Hull - and invites audiences to join a celebration of the artists like no other.
