Today, on 2 October, we celebrate the fifth World Ballet Day. Whether you aspire to be the next Anna Pavlova or Darcey Bussell, the 20 hours of live, behind-the-scenes footage from five of the world’s leading ballet companies, including the Bolshoi, the Royal Ballet and the Australian Ballet are sure to inspire you.
Here at the Square, we decided to celebrate and collaborate with photographer Alexander Yip and the Ballerina Project UK with dancers from the Semaphore Ballet Company for our social media takeover. Which one is your favourite?
