who are we?
a group of ballet enthusiasts set up over 25 years ago for fellow ballet enthusiasts to support the Royal Ballet companies through interest in and loyalty to them

what do we do?

our main activity is to hold monthly meetings at which dancers talk about their career/repertoire/interests in an infomal interview structure with plenty of opportunity for the audience to ask their own questions

who comes to speak?

in recent years, we’ve welcomed many speakers from principal stars such as Alina Cojocaru, Carlos Acosta, Leanne Benjamin, Sylvie Guillem, Johan Kobborg and Sarah Wildor to up-and-coming artists like Marianela Nuñez and Edward Watson and illustrious ex-dancers such as Pamela May, Dame Antoinette Sibley and Donald MacLeary

where are the meetings?

at the Swedenborg Hall in Holborn every month during the season (never on a ballet night!)

what else is there?

an annual dinner, which is attended by many members of the company; also informal meeting opportunities at performances. We also recognise service to the company through leaving and retirement gifts to dancers as well as donations to specific appeals (eg the Royal Ballet School Development)

how do I keep in touch?

we send out a monthly newsletter, which, alternatively, you can receive by e-mail if you prefer
