going to be in London the week of Nov. 13-19

[Boots]

Hey London folks - my hubby has a work conference in Reading next week and I am joining him after his conference for a short vacation in London and surrounds. I'm going to go back through the posts for good places to take classes (intermediate-ish, open classes), but I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for interesting looking performances that week - dance or otherwise (just incase we need to duck inside at some point to take a break from the lovely weather there!)

 

Also - does anyone have suggestions for affordable places to stay (if there are such things in London?)

Rambert is on at the Sadlers Wells - Sadlers Wells Homepage

 

And the Royal Ballet is doing Manon and Sylvia (I think Sylvia's opening night is the 19th.

 

Royal Opera House

 

Tamara Rojo is dancing as Manon on the 15th with Carlos Acosta. While I don't necessarily love Acosta's Des Grieux, Rojo is a stunning dance-actress and utilises a gorgeous port de bras in the Act II solo.

Lol - after the past few days definitely don't forget the umbrellas. I cycle here in Oxford and was *drenched* when I got home last night. UGH. There is a reason we drink lots of tea!!!!

I suggest seeing Billy Elliot - The Musical.

 

It's a great show!
