London City Ballet

London City Ballet is a touring company of international dancers presenting engaging stories through dance to audiences across the world. Alongside creating newly commissioned work by upcoming, plus established Choreographers, their emphasis is on resurrecting heritage works from the classical canon that may no longer be in the mainstream repertoire. The company strive to present engaging and entertaining works whilst ensuring the history which came before it is not forgotten.
The original iteration of the company closed in the 1990’s having formerly been the resident company of Sadler’s Wells, and internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading dance collectives, with Diana, Princess of Wales as the Royal Patron. It was sensitively reformed in 2023 after a 30-year hiatus, under the Artistic Direction of Christopher Marney.
In under two years the company has engaged a vast public across Europe, Asia and the US. To date, the repertoire of ballets on offer showcase leading lights of the international dance scene including Kenneth MacMillan, George Balanchine, Liam Scarlett, Arielle Smith and Alexei Ratmansky.

« Marney and his company have succeeded on every level in reinvigorating, restoring and respecting all that was good about its previous incarnation while injecting new life and ideas into an extraordinary venture. »
Deborah Weiss, Bachtrack

« The dancers […] saw the air with curved arms, or make little pecking movements and fleet jumps as they circle and whirl in solos, trios and a pensive duet […]. It feels fresh and enticing – just like the company. »
Sarah Crompton, The Guardian
