The Gala‘s 2021 programme will be another exciting celebration of classical and contemporary ballet performed by principal dancers from the UK and around the world.
The Gala continues to be one of the world’s most impressive dance events. For one night only – 26 November 2021 – the Gala will bring together the world’s greatest ballet stars in a splendid performance – a night to remember!

The Gala will be followed by an exclusive dinner held at the glamorous Corinthia Hotel, which is just steps away from the performance venue.
