So, people think of ballet most people will think of girls in Tutus, not men.
The Theatre was crammed and there were many different kinds of people there.
The first half was about Them - a collaboration process by the company dancers.
The 6 dancers were fantastic and had to be fit!
It was great that there were many young boys in the audience and this show definitely proves that Ballet isn't just for girls.
In the first half they had a 4x2 square to work with and this was used to great effect.
The first half finished with a bow and a polite round of applause by the crowd.
Then in the second half the square had gone and we were taken on a journey with the theme of US.
Choreography in the 2nd half was by Tony and Olivier Award winner, Christopher Wheeldon and was an expanded version of the original duet which premiered in 2017.
This version had the 6 company dancers in it at different parts of the 2nd Act.
There were two moments that I felt were great and well done to the two dancers involved.
The first was a solo which kinda brought the crowd along, and then the duet which was amazing.
You could see why this company has been successful as the stage design is minimal but impactful, the contrasting musical scores by Keaton Henson and Charlotte Harding were fantastic.
All the choreography was amazing and even there was one slip he just continued which shows their professionalism.
Would I see it again?? I'm not too sure as it's not really my thing and I have no real understanding about ballet - the thing I use to kinda understand it is Billy Elliot the Musical.
But the show was great and the crowd was enjoying it from start to finish.
