Local girl Lizzie to perform with ballet company at The Polish Centre

Lizzie Taylor, who grew up and studied in Chiswick is to star with the Cracow Centre Ballet in a series of performances in Hammersmith in early September.

The company, a young, enthusiastic and colourful ballet theatre from Eastern Europe, features professional classically trained dancers with great talent and a real passion for modern ballet.

Established in 2009 by former prima ballerina Svetlana Gaida, six dancers from Russia, Poland and England will perform at the Polish Centre in Hammersmith in a very exciting display including new choreography, billed as “Vita Nuova” and with music by Frederic Chopin to mark the celebration of his birth 200 years ago (1810-1849).

Their repertoire also consists of some of the most famous and best-loved classical ballets and their beautiful costumes, especially striking in the character dances, have been hand crafted in Belarus.
