Emerging Dancer
Emerging Dancer
Success in ballet requires a huge amount of hard work, talent and creative curiosity. Through this annual event, English National Ballet recognises the excellence of its artists.
Selected by their peers, six of our most promising dancers perform in front of an eminent panel of expert judges, before one receives the 2019 Emerging Dancer Award.
This year’s finalists are Alice Bellini, Emilia Cadorin, Julia Conway, Rentaro Nakaaki, Shale Wagman and Rhys Antoni Yeomans.
This inspiring evening is a fantastic opportunity to watch our rising stars flourish, and witness how far their dedication has taken them.
The recipient of the People’s Choice Award, selected by members of the public, and the Corps de Ballet Award, acknowledging the work on and off-stage of an Artist of the Company, will also be revealed.
Emerging Dancer will be live streamed from 7.25pm BST.
English National Ballet are unique in celebrating their dancers with a very public event… very prestigious and specialDanceTabs
