Preserving dance heritage, crafting future stories

London City Ballet is a touring company of international dancers presenting engaging stories through dance to audiences across the world. Alongside creating newly commissioned work by upcoming, plus established, Choreographers an emphasis will also be on resurrecting older works that may no longer be in the mainstream repertoire. We strive to present engaging and entertaining works whilst ensuring the history which came before us is not forgotten.

The original iteration of the company closed in 1996 having formerly been the resident company of Sadler’s Wells, and internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading dance collectives, with Diana, Princess of Wales as the Royal Patron. It was sensitively reformed in 2023 after a 30 year hiatus, under the Artistic Direction of Christopher Marney.

Touring

London City Ballet’s inaugural season in 2024 featured a 17-venue tour taking the company of 14 dancers worldwide to three continents. 

As well as extensive touring in the UK the company presented an 8-city tour in China, a one-week run at Sadler’s Wells Theatre as well as opening the Fall season at New York’s famed Joyce Theater. London City Ballet took part in a selection of international festivals including Sintra, Portugal and Latitude in Suffolk.
