11 Roubles

Hello,

As I mentioned in my last post you will be seeing some changes and updates to the website and social media platforms.

I'm delighted to say there is a brand new page, so please join us at:

As you may or may not have noticed, things have been a bit quiet on here of late, however like graceful Swans gliding across the lake there’s been some industrial strength paddling going on beneath the surface and we do have a rather special Bank Holiday Announcement.
…
11 Roubles is changing its name to Cotswold Adult Ballet, same great classes, same gorgeous Dancewear, just a different moniker.
…
This year saw us moving to a new venue and the time felt right for a rebrand that better reflects our community values.
…
The upheavals and uncertainties of last year strengthened the bond we have as dancers, and alongside our joy of ballet, we continue to support each other in and outside of the studio.
…
Over the next week you’ll see some changes to our website and social media platforms, but we will see you back at the barre, same time, same place in September

It may be gloomy outside, but there's a brand new book on the Ballet Book Shelf:

As ‘Ballet Shoes’ at enters the last week of its run, all I can say is Beg, Borrow or Steal a Ticket (well probably not the last one, because that would be illegal).
…
I was fortunate enough to attend a performance last week and it is charming, funny, poignant, uplifting, innovative and brilliant.
The cast are superb and it is a true ensemble production.

As a former Wardrobe Mistress part of me is screaming “GET YOURSELF AND THAT COSTUME OFF THE FLOOR!”
The other part of me “Technical Rehearsal? I’m also losing the will to live on your behalf”

About last night…
The most spellbinding and spectacular performance from and in Giselle, I was captivated.
I was lucky enough to see them last year, when they made their debut in Swan Lake in the Round; this is a very special partnership that goes from strength to strength at
