A trip to the ballet

My favourite ballet company - Les Ballets Trocadero de Monte Carlo - was in town Edinburgh for two nights, so I had a thoroughly enjoyable jaunt through to the Festival Theatre to see them.

They are an all-male company of outstanding classical ballet dancers who dress as female and dance en pointe with a splash of comedy thrown in for good measure.

"These guys have it all. Plus the petty jealousies and rivalries on stage, the accidental collisions and miscues – all are present and correct. We laugh, we gasp, we wonder. It is what The Trocks do best." (Part of the review from their performance in London last month)


This was one of the pieces on the programme last night, along with excerpts from Swan Lake and Don Quixote.
