An exquisite little country-house festival? Yes – but this one's for lovers of ballet, not opera. Taking place in the 17th-century walled Dutch garden of Hatch House, near Salisbury, it will this year see (among other tempting turns) former Mariinsky star Xander Parish dance Balanchine's Diamonds pas de deux with Kateryna Chebykina.
A tantalising mini-festival within the Edinburgh Fringe, A Glimpse of Taiwan sets out to give dance fans exactly that, through four completely different shows in four highly approachable afternoon slots. Dive in!
The celebrated Brazilian troupe comes to the Edinburgh International Festival with two pieces – Gil Refazendo and Gira, both by choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras – designed to plunge you into the sounds and rhythms of their homeland.
A nice chance for Fringe-goers to see Scottish Dance Theatre in a double-bill of works by fast-rising choreographers Roser López Espinosa and Sofia Nappi.
The States' marvellously named troupe Wild Rumpus Jazz Co come to the Fringe with an interactive show that's out to "raise a glass to laughter, dance and the relatable moments that bring us together". Particularly in the context of Edinburgh during August, how can you possibly resist?
State Ballet of Georgia – under the direction of all-time-great dancer Nina Ananiashvili – comes to London for the first time ever with its colourful production of Swan Lake.
No, not the hefty Fringe venue of the same name on Edinburgh's Mound, but the latest, genuinely mind-bending slice of dance theatre from Canadian wonders Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young – based on, of all things, a historical re-enactment gone haywire.
