Royal Ballet dancers keep moving under lockdown
- 4 years ago
On March 16, London's Royal Opera House and its renowned dance company, the Royal Ballet, closed its doors to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic. Free online broadcasts of past performances have kept audiences connected with the Royal Ballet, but keeping dancers active and connected with one another has posed unique challenges.
Morning warm-ups, six-hour rehearsals, and live shows are the backbone of a dancer's normal life, and they need spacious studios with high ceilings in which to practice choreography and hone their technique -- far more space than you'd find in the average London flat.
