Behind the Scenes

Ever wondered what a professional ballet class is like? Watch from your theatre seat as our dancers go through their morning training routine, with commentary by artistic staff, then sit in as our top dancers rehearse for an upcoming production.

The rehearsal room is a very special place. It’s a place where a lot of knowledge is disseminated and where dancers can hone their craft. It is where roles are built and developed, to the point where they are ready to be put on stage. It’s quite an amazing atmosphere.
