Flawless and English National Ballet announce new show – tour dates

Flawless is to partner with the English National Ballet for a new production and nationwide tour of the UK throughout June 2012.

The 19-date tour will commence on 1 June at the HMV Apollo Hammersmith and conclude at the Manchester Palace Theatre on 8 July.

The 10 dancers from Flawless will perform and combine their street dance skills with 10 ballerinas to show audiences “all that is great about dance.”

“Collaborations like this are vital for English National Ballet to keep the Company fresh and modern and for dancer development,” said Wayne Eagling, artistic director at the English National Ballet.

It is hoped Flawless collaborating with the English National Ballet will attract new audiences to theatres and watch the ballet.

The new show will be created by Flawless’ artistic director and lead choreographer Marlon “Swoosh” Wallen and Jenna Lee, soloist and choreographer at English National Ballet.

Eagling continued: “It’s a fantastic opportunity for Jenna to showcase her skills which have been nurtured by the Company. I personally can’t wait to see the show unfold and to see a whole new audience introduced to the world of ballet.”

Flawless and the English National Ballet first performed together at the Peace One Day concert at the O2 in London in September 2011 having been introduced to each other at Buckingham Palace for the event Young people and the performing Arts earlier in May 2011, where they both performed as individual companies.
