London City Ballet has released photos from inside the rehearsal room with its new company of 14 dancers.

Check out the photos below!​

The photos show the company rehearsing pieces from Resurgence, a programme of acclaimed works. Ashley Page’s Larina Waltz will mark the ballet’s 30th anniversary, while Five Dances is a new work premiering from Olivier award-winner Arielle Smith. Completing the programme will be Eve, a full company work by Christopher Marney, which premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 2022, and the revival of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1972 one-act ballet Ballade, unseen in Europe for over 50 years. At tour venues in Portugal and China the pas de deux from Kenneth MacMillan's Concerto will also be performed.
