Ballet Theatre UK has been touring for 14 years and was established by Christopher Moore, who previously danced professionally for more than a decade.

He said: “I danced professionally for over a decade subsequently becoming more involved with choreography, so it was a natural progression for me to establish Ballet Theatre UK to showcase my own interpretations of popular classical ballets.

“I’ve taken traditional ballets, which to some people are museum pieces, bringing them up-to-date for the modern audience and engaging our audiences with a passion and energy that I hope is inspiring.

“The dancers bring much to the company making me able to create choreography which best shows their techniques.

The show is perfect even for people who have never watched ballet before.

Christopher explained: “I had a retired gentleman approach me after one of our shows who said he had never been to a ballet before and was so pleased he had now done so, having enjoyed it immensely.

“I think it should be considered one of life’s experiences; you’ll never know until you try it.

“A live show with a high visual content and rousing music will always set the heart beating faster!

“Romeo and Juliet is a perfect introduction as it is such a well-known story yet the complex choreography challenges for the seasoned classical ballet fan.”

Romeo and Juliet will be at the Theatre Royal Winchester on Wednesday, April 5, at 7pm.
