Brighton, prepare to be swept off your feet! Ballet Central is pirouetting its way back to our vibrant city, bringing with it a fresh troupe of talented dancers and a programme that promises to dazzle and delight. On Friday, 5th June 2026, The Dance Space will host this one-night-only performance, part of a nationwide tour that has already garnered critical acclaim.

The 2026 programme is a feast for the senses, featuring four contrasting works that span the spectrum of ballet. From the dreamlike realms of Kenneth MacMillan’s “Solitaire” to the neon-lit intensity of “BOLERO 18” and the mirrored realities of “REPLICA,” there is something to captivate every dance enthusiast. And who could resist the Broadway glamour of “Times Square Ballet,” an exuberant nod to the romance and chaos of 1940s New York?

“Solitaire,” revived by Lynn Wallis, offers a poignant exploration of solitude and connection, set to Malcolm Arnold’s enigmatic score. Meanwhile, “BOLERO 18” and “REPLICA” push the boundaries of contemporary dance, with innovative choreography and striking visuals that promise to leave audiences spellbound.

Founded in 1984, Ballet Central is renowned for providing a platform for graduating dancers from the Central School of Ballet to showcase their skills. Under the leadership of Executive Director Mark Osterfield and Artistic Director Kate Coyne, the company continues to make high-quality dance accessible across the UK.

Whether you’re a ballet aficionado or a newcomer to the art form, this performance is an unmissable opportunity to witness the versatility and flair of the next generation of dancers. So, why not make an evening of it and enjoy the cultural delights Brighton has to offer? And if you’re considering a move to this vibrant city, we at Sawyer & Co are here to help you find your perfect home.
