The Company have been in Oxford this week, which doesn't come without its challenges. Oxford is the smallest stage on tour so when the Company arrive they must firstly fit the set into place and then adapt the movement to the stage so the choreography never looks 'squashed'. The Company managed this in just one rehearsal, a tribute to how professional and hard-working our team is.

The dancers and crew have a much needed week at home next week - life on the road is hard, they'll all be thankful for nights in their own beds. But there will be no rest in the studios, the Company need to rehearse for Swan Lake and The Nutcracker before Southampton and London, luckily without performances it at least means they'll have early nights!

A word to those wishing to book for The Snow Queen at the London Coliseum, tickets are selling out fast! You'll have to beg, borrow and steal to get a best ticket, so book now!
