A series of outstanding and memorable programmes to mark 40 years of BBCtv
Behind the glamorous facade of the ballet there is the daily routine of class. Dancers are athletes and class is where they limber up, working through the movements which make up the vocabulary of classical ballet.
The leading dancers from The Royal Ballet take class in a studio at the Television Centre.
