★★★

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.

★★

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.

★★

Resolution Festival is a place for young choreographic minds to experiment. This evening was no different with a mix of Flamenco, contemporary and meditation on display.

★★★★

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

★★★★

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.

★★★★

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.

★★★★

Pina Bausch’s interpretation of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring is performed by an all-African cast for the first time. Performed alongside common ground[s] by Germaine Acogny.

★★★★

Abby Zbikowski stuns at Dance Umbrella Festival with Radioactive Practice. Performed by her company Abby Z and the New Utility, the work is danced in near silence and features bold, sports-inspired movement and heckling.

★★★★

Renowned choreographer Hofesh Shecter brings his latest show, the uncanny Theatre of Dreams, comes to Sadler’s Wells. It’s is bold, brash and maximalist with curtains darting about and causing chaos (no really).

★★ to ★★★

National Dance Company of Wales tour to The Place, London for Frontiers, a double bill featuring Skinners by Melanie Lane and August by outgoing Artistic Director Matthew William Robinson. Although the ideas are intriguing on paper, they often struggle to translate to the stage.

★★ to ★★★★

The National Ballet of Canada return to London after over a decade with a mixed programme of varying results. While James Kudelka and Emma Portner’s pieces struggled at times, Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas was an impressive finale.

★★★★

Another bucket list ballet. This time our author finally gets to see Akram Khan’s version of Giselle performed by English National Ballet. Was ‘Giselle with sticks’ worth the wait?

★★★★

Jill Johnson’s latest work for contemporary dance company Rambert meditates on remembrance and community in the intimate setting of Stone Nest, London.
