to conjure up the Silver Screen genius
of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Gene
Kelly.

and musicians filling the stage, glitzy
cinematic images set the scene for English
National Ballet's fabulous dance
spectacular. This glittering in-the-round
production recreates the razzmatazz
of the big band era and Hollywood musicals,
featuring a journey indance from ballroom
to jazz, building to a breathtaking
balletic finale.
