Boys Own Dance - an online discussion

Gerard Charles, Artistic Director of the Royal Academy of Dance recently hosted an inspiring online chat with male role models from the world of dance.

Joining Gerard for the discussion were: Sean Bates, First Soloist, Northern Ballet; Alexander Campbell, Principal, The Royal Ballet; Chi Cao, former Principal, Birmingham Royal Ballet; Shevelle Dynott, Artist, English National Ballet; and Iain Mackay, former Principal, Birmingham Royal Ballet. In the video below, they discuss their lives in dance, how they began, where dancing has taken them, the highlights and challenges in their careers, as well as their own role models.

This discussion was created to support the RAD’s Project B initiative which aims to encourage more males into dance.
