Dance for Parkinson’s: Online National Offer

Book your space now for our Dance for Parkinson’s classes held online, and open to anyone living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers in the United Kingdom.

English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s Online National Offer welcomes in the Summer term with a fresh take on the classic tale of Carmen, choreographed by Johan Inger.

With its fiery drama and iconic music, Carmen never ceases to thrill. In this reimagined version, choreographer Johan Inger takes audiences deep into the passions and dark undercurrents of the original story, combining contemporary and classical movement to powerful effect.

Nine large movable mirrors frame the action – transporting us from a town square through to the troubled mind of Don José. Additional music by Marc Alvarez complements Bizet and Shchedrin’s classic score, performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.

We hope you will join us in exploring the wonder of this enduring tale with new resonance this Summer term!
