The Royal Ballet: Ballet to Broadway: Wheeldon Works
Event cinema screening.
Fool's Paradise
Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.
The Two Of Us
The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York, and had American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast.
Us (Duet)
Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music.
An American In Paris (Ballet)
The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in which the two central characters dance through Paris.

Rebeca Ortega Flamenco - Silences
From the tradition and avant-garde of flamenco culture, this dance performance is theatrically woven together, accompanied by traditional flamenco musicians.
Rebeca Ortega Dancer
Ramón Ruiz Guitarist and composer
Carlos Lobo Vocalist and palmas
Sebastian Ruiz Percussionist
Expressed through the depth of the seguiriya, the femininity of the guajira, the intensity of the farruca, and the rhythms of the jaleos and bulerías.
In a world filled with internal dialogues and an excess of noise and information, are we truly in control of our decisions? Often, we are overwhelmed by anxiety, hindering our mental calm. As a result, there arises a need to reflect on the value of silence in our society, in a flamenco piece full of passion, strength, and elegance.
Notable for her strong expression, sense of rhythm, elegance and high level of physical and multidisciplinary abilities. Rebeca has been nominated in the Dancer category at the Seville Stages Awards 2024 for her recent production of flamenco roots and at the same time avant-garde Silences, which filled two nights at the Teatro La Fundición in Seville.
In her short artistic career, she has had the privilege of being nominated by the Embassy of Spain to represent flamenco art with her company in every corner of the world, performing in countries such as China, Bhutan, India, Ethiopia or Trinidad and Tobago. Highlights include Teatros del Canal (Madrid), Watford Palace Theatre (London), National Opera (Armenia), Montreux Dance Festival (Switzerland), National Theatre National Opera (Armenia), National Theatre of Performing Arts (Trinidad and Tobago).
She stood out in important productions such as A mi manera with the flamenco company Teatro Flamenco La Tati and as a solo dancer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She is currently immersed in the production of Kalasetu in London, a show that fuses traditional flamenco art with classical Indian music and dance. Her passion and versatility have established her as a leading figure in the current flamenco scene.

Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet
Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet! put on fabulous, feelgood 70s and 80s disco nights for grown-ups at venues across London and the South East - and we’re delighted to welcome them back again after a funk-tastic sell out night here in January.
HSDY nights are recommended by everyone from Time Out and The Guardian to Stylist and Radio 4 and they have been described as 'Abba collides with Saturday Night Fever in a glorious mash up'.
DJ Lady G will be on the decks playing all your favourite soul, funk and disco tunes. Dancer Lady Boo will be showing you the moves to everything from Car Wash (complete with shiny rags) and Hey Mickey, to the 1979 Gonzales hit, Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet, after which HSDY take their name.
If you fancy dressing up (it’s not obligatory, but lots do) there are prizes for the best retro outfits, and free sweets and ice pops too.
In the words of Shalamar, it’s going to be 'a night to remember!'
10% profits from HSDY nights go to Cancer Research UK
Party the night away until 12am - with our Café Bar also open serving drinks until then!
