World class ballet returns to the Isle of Wight

Robert Robinson, a soloist with the Stuttgart Ballet, has been in touch about a wonderful fundraising event coming up later this month (July).

For the past two years Robert – who was born on the Isle of Wight – has organised a Ballet Gala on the Island. The Galas and following seasons have raised over £9,000 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.

Two chances to see the performances
This year the event has grown as BalletWorks will be performing two shows in London on the 26th and 27th of July, as well as two more at Medina Theatre 29th and 30th of July.

This year’s BalletWorks features dancers from Stuttgart Ballet, Hamburg Ballet, Staatsballet Berlin, and Ballet Augsburg. It also showcases commissions from choreographers Louis Stiens and Richard Chappell.

Robert says,

“BalletWorks is a charity event of high cultural calibre. With its diverse repertoire and international cast, the project seeks to bring the most exciting European developments to local theaters.

“We want to continue helping various worthy causes. It is important for us to venture to other venues across England. This way we can bring BalletWorks to new audiences, bringing in new repertoire each year.”
