Physical Ballet

Saturday 17 - Sunday 18 July


Ballet met Parkour in a weekend of physical training and choreographic exploration on the weekend of 17 and 18 July, part of Big Dance’s Keep Dancing phase.

Led by masters Daniel Jones from English National Ballet and Forrest (Francois Mahop) from Parkour Generations participants enjoyed a special weekend workshop unlike no other – pushed to the limit; they developed new skills and were part of a unique evolving dance form. Accompanied by professional musician Murray Gould, participants worked intensely over two days which culminated in a performance for an invited audience of Them and Us – choreography by Daniel Jones, inspired by Romeo & Juliet.

The weekend was documented by Victoria Hill, writing for London Youth Dance. Click here to read the full report.
