We invite you to join The Spectator’s chief dance critic Rupert Christiansen for a VIP evening at the 11^th London edition of the critically acclaimed show Ballet Nights. ‘Convergence’, promises to provide a dazzling evening of superb dance, combining familiar classics with new works, performed by some of today's most accomplished performers, including Denys Cherevychko of the Vienna State Opera Ballet, Samara Downs of Birmingham Royal Ballet and young talent from English National Ballet, as well as visitors from Taiwan, France and the USA.

Rupert will be your guide as we meet in a small group in the Ballet Nights Lounge, where we will enjoy pre-show fizz, with an introduction from Ballet Nights' Founder and Artistic Director, Jamiel Devernay-Laurence. We will gather again with Rupert during the interval for more drinks and discussion. Afterwards we will meet the artists and have a photo taken.
