Elmhurst Ballet Company, the graduate year of Elmhurst Ballet School, presents Odyssey - a striking mixed programme of classical and contemporary dance. The young company has collaborated with established choreographers, dance artists and organisations to bring this ambitious production to the stage.

The programme showcases a diverse repertoire, including excerpts from two ballets by renowned Danish choreographer and ballet master August Bournonville: the vibrant Napoli and the elegant Le Conservatoire. Alongside these classical works is Ascension, a new jazz piece by award-winning choreographer and international dance teacher Dane Bates, and Ek.sta.sis, created by Miguel Altunaga for this group of students and premiered in July 2025.

In Odyssey, audiences are invited on a journey through stories both old and new, celebrating the artistic growth of each Elmhurst Ballet Company dancer as they transition from student to professional artist. Each work marks a step in their creative evolution, capturing moments of discovery, courage, reflection and transformation.
