★★★

Scottish Ballet present two contrasting contemporary works in London, unfortunately linked by their lack of strong narrative.

★★★★

Jasmin Vardimon Company’s 25th anniversary is marked in style with an inventive and imaginative work that constantly surprises.

★★★

Wayne McGregor’s deep-sea inspired work wanted to take us into the void. But one too many ideas meant Company Wayne McGregor’s voyage into the unknown lost its way.

★★★

Lia Rodrigues’s Rose Prize-nominated dance work certainly brought the shock factor. But beyond that, what was the purpose of this hour-long gallivant through fabric?

★★★★

Wang Yeu-Kwn stuns with a captivating half-hour duet danced on a piece of rice paper. Nominated for the inaugural Bloom Prize for choreography.

★★★★

After an underwhelming start, immersive dance experience Our Mighty Groove transformed into an uplifting night of dance that set the tone for new theatre Sadler’s Wells East.

★★★

Kyle Abraham’s Rose Prize-nominated contemporary dance piece on Black American life and love had a brilliant sit-com concept that lacked enough variety to get me through to the season finale.

★★★★

Stav Struz Boutrous’s half an hour work meditates mourns the tragedy of war through the medium of the Georgian military dance, Khorumi. Nominated for the inaugural Bloom Prize for choreography.

★★

Our author try to resist the guilt of a critical eye as she enters her second night of Resolution. In store? Strange births, balloons for heads and some Lindy Hop.

★★

★★★★

Erina Takahashi brings emotional growth to the role of Giselle, while Precious Adams shines as a commanding Myrtha, in an ethereal performance which was slow to get going.

★★★★

English National Ballet’s new Nutcracker is fizzing with magic, but Arielle Smith and Aaron S. Watkin’s updated choreography struggles to deliver.

★★★★

Matthew Bourne’s iconic reimagining of Swan Lake still has gravitas, 30 years on from its historic premiere.

★★★★

Carlos Acosta’s new, sunnier Nutcracker is pure joy and features a Cuban reinterpretation of Tchaikovsky’s score. It’s just a shame the world building didn’t meet expectations.

★★★★

Disabled dancer Claire Cunningham’s gentle hike-come-dance piece is mesmerising and intriguing (and featured a biscuit break!) — it’s just a shame the pure dance content was so minimal.

★★★

The Australian Ballet has unveiled the world’s first ballet set around an LGBTQ+ relationship. Oscar, by Christopher Wheeldon, is a biography of the writer Oscar Wilde. At times moving and tender, it is overcomplicated with additional characters making the story hard to follow.

★★★★

Michael Keegan-Dolan's folk-accompanied contemporary dance piece is bonkers, uncanny, and complete fun. It's just a shame the deeper narrative was lost along the way.

★★★

Akram Khan’s powerful reflection on war and grief packs an emotional punch…if you can find a synopsis to read first.

★★★★

Pagrav Dance Company bring a joyful Kathak performance to The Place, London, with live music and bell-laden ankles.
