“From the elegant neo-classicism of Apollo … a quiet finesse that is especially pleasing”

“Apollo is a hybrid; 19th century pointe with cubist twists and turns, some gently amusing, some just gorgeous”
The Guardian
“It was extraordinary to hear the collective ‘ahh’ from the packed-out auditorium as the curtain fell on [Apollo]. This was the sound of sheer contentment.”
Mail on Sunday
“…watching [Apollo] executed with such grace was almost enough to bring tears to the eyes … immense depth and feeling … graceful as a swan”

Rubies
“Scottish Ballet dived into [Rubies] with razzle-dazzle spirit … zesty entertainment”
The Herald
“Rubies, the jazzy Moulin Rouge romp that ended the evening in a blaze of red sequins”
The Daily Telegraph
“the jazzy razzle-dazzle of Rubies … flashy red costumes … the piece that lays claim to raising our pulse rate with its skittish shimmies and minxish prancings.”
The Herald
“Rubies … brought on the ballerinas prancing with the groomed gloss of ponies on show. As they trotted for their lives, skimpily dressed in Hollywood red, this select bunch from around the world knew they had triumphed. Heart-warming.”
The Guardian
“Rubies had that joyful, feel-good factor which well-performed dance can bring. Filling the stage with dazzling bejewelled dancers, it had the audience clapping before a single step was taken”
