with Sir Frederick Ashton Antoinette Sibley Anthony Dowell and Karen Paisey
Phillip Broomhead
In this new series, Master
Class goes behind the scenes in the world of dance. Sir
Frederick Ashton rehearses
Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell in the pas de deux from his ballet The
Dream. It was this ballet, based on Shakespeare's A
Midsummer Night's Dream, that was the start of their world-famous partnership.
Anthony Dowell also passes on his knowledge of the ballet to Karen Paisey and Phillip Broomhead , two of the up-and-coming stars of the Royal Ballet, giving insight into the hard work that goes into the seemingly effortless performances seen from the stalls.
