UK dance shows to see this winter 2023
 

With the festive season just around the corner we thought we would share with you some wonderful winter shows and dance companies that are touring the UK to bring you joy.

There is nothing more wonderful in our opinion than heading to the theatre. Getting dressed up, that feeling of excitement and of course that buzz you get when the lights go down and the music begins.

This post highlights some up and coming shows that would make a great night out or perhaps if you know someone who loves dancing as much as you do, a fabulous Christmas gift?

Live in cinemas: Don Quixote - Cinemas nationwide, 7th to 12th November 2023

One of our favourite ballets here at Ballet Fusion HQ. And it doesn’t come better than Carlos Acosta’s production. Teeming with comedy, wit and an abundance of bravura choreography, Acosta's production brings the Spanish heat and romance of Cervantes' classic novel to life.
