Ballet Nights 003 A Grand Finale will be at Lanterns Studio Theatre 24–25 November.

The last of three events closes Jamiel Devernay-Laurence's compèred evening of musical and dance concert events at Canary Wharf, featuring solos and duets from classical ballets with new work by up and coming talent.

Dancers will include Katja Kaniukova, Airto Arieta Coca, Ivana Bueno, Constance Devernay-Laurence, Sangeun Lee, Gareth Haw, James Pett, Travis Clausen-Knight, Felicity Chadwick and Laurel Dalley Smith with Viktor Erik Emanuel on piano.

Devernay-Laurence, Artistic Director and creator of Ballet Nights, said "Ballet Nights is what I thought a show should always look like. t’s the opportunity to curate and present a host of diverse elements that are all part of the world of dance: classical dance and legacy works, new works by fast-rising choreographers and an incredible cast of world-class dancers.”

The programme will include Medora Variation ACT II from Le Corsaire; Marius Petipa's Esmerelda Variation and Don Quixote Suite, Robert Cohan's Wind, William Forsythe's In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated, as well as recent contemporary works by Pett / Clausen-Knight, Yasser D’Oquendo, Joshua Junker and Jordan James Bridge.
