NEW YEAR HONOURS
Huge congratulations to Northern Ballet Artistic Director, David Nixon OBE.
The New Year Honours list has been published today.
ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET
Our recent competition winner, Emma Stanworth, attended a performance of ENB’s The Nutcracker.
Emma said afterwards “it was beautiful, utterly amazing! My favourite part was the pas de deux between Clara and the Nutcracker. It was also really good to see the dancers who were nominated for the Emerging Dancer Award, they were all so good and I can’t wait to hopefully see them in the future!”
The dancers short-listed for the Emerging Dancer Award are : Esteban Berlanga, Anaïs Chalendard, Crystal Costa, Ksenia Ovsyanick, Junor de Oliveira Souza and Venus Villa.
If you’d like to know more about the dancers short-listed for the Emerging Dancer Awards, I have published interviewes with some of them, including Venus Villa, Crystal Costa, Anaïs Chalendard and Esteban Berlanga. I will shortly be publishing interviews with the final two nominees.

Hi Elise, I love your site and Happy New Year to you too! You cannot imagine how happy I was to have a dancer/lover of dance stop by my site and leave a comment. Thank you. I got behind on my blog this fall but will be blogging and reading blogs this year (a new year's resolution) and am adding you to my reading list. Thanks again!
