WHY I STARTED BALLET ✨. RITE OF SPRING….. Honestly full testament to my dad for playing it non stop in our living room since I was 2. He used to put it on and we would have a game of if we can jump on the beat or not and I used to get it nearly every time instinctually after listening to it a few times. If you don’t know it that’s hard! It’s a piece of music close to my heart because it literally reminds me of my child hood growing up in Islington right outside the old football grounds of Arsena

#OnThisDay in 1913, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring premiered: paired with Nijinsky's choreography, it famously caused a riot. The iconic #ballet continues to inspire choreographers: check out this extract from Mats Ek's striking version, which we premiered last year. 🩰 James Streeter and Artists of English National Ballet 🎶 Stravinsky performed by English National Ballet Philharmonic #EnglishNationalBallet #riteofspring | English National Ballet
