Beginner BALLET

### Adult Beginner Ballet \| Monday Evenings at FieldWorks Curious about ballet but not sure where to start? This welcoming adult beginner ballet class is designed for those who are completely new to dance, returning after time away, or looking to reconnect with movement in a supportive environment. Together, we’ll explore the foundations of ballet — posture, alignment, coordination, musicality and flow — at a pace that allows space for learning, questions and discovery. No previous dance experience is needed. Our classes are full of adults just like you: beginners, returners and movers exploring ballet for the first time. At FieldWorks, we believe dance is for everybody. Our teachers are here to guide you, share their love of movement and help you build confidence one class at a time. Classes take place in our beautiful professional studios in Hackney, with sprung Harlequin floors designed to support safer movement and long-term dancer wellbeing. Come as you are. Start where you are. 📍 Hackney / London Fields 🩰 Beginner friendly ✨ No experience necessary

Grimebourn Dido and Aneas

Ensemble OrQuesta returns to Grimeborn with a revival of one of their most beloved productions, Dido and Aeneas. One of the oldest and most enduring in the English repertoire, Purcell’s operatic masterpiece gets a strikingly intimate, minimalist treatment in Arcola’s downstairs studio. Five performers bring to life a story of love, betrayal and abandonment that has moved audiences for over three centuries. Based on Virgil’s Aeneid, the opera follows the story of Dido, Queen of Carthage, who falls for the Trojan hero Aeneas, knowing he is destined to leave her. Helen May and Rosemary Carlton-Willis alternate the roles of Dido and the Sorceress – and on three of the five nights, the audience will choose who sings which role, decided on the spot before the performance begins.
