Flawless go Against Time with ENB in Manchester, 6 July

Street dance world champions and Britain’s Got Talent finalists Flawless are joining forces with English National Ballet for a show called Against Time which arrives in Manchester next month as part of a UK tour.

The collaboration, involving 10 ballerinas and Flawless’s 10 men in a mix of street dance, acrobatics and ballet, echoes
the hit movie StreetDance 3D – in which Flawless appeared. The film plot sees a group of street dancers encounter the world of ballet while reluctantly accepting rehearsal space in a ballet school rather than having to split up.

In a twist, the ballerinas will be popping and locking while the street dancers will learn a new elegance as they lift and hold their pirouetting partners.

ENB artistic director Wayne Eagling says that this show helps to keep the company fresh and modern. “I can’t wait to see the show unfold and to see a whole new audience introduced to the world of ballet.”

Against Time is at Manchester’s Palace Theatre from 6 – 8 July.
