BIRMINGHAM Royal Ballet's (BRB) Strictly Dancing will be coming to the Hippodrome.

The programme explores the three strands of BRB's work: the 19th-century classical tradition, the company's 20th century heritage and modern ballet's creative force.

It showcases the skill and grandeur of 19th century master choreographer, Marius Petipa.

Twyla Tharp salutes Frank Sinatra, the 1950s and the seductive thrill of ballroom dancing with couples doing the tango, waltz and jive.

And Frederick Ashton, dance legend and founder choreographer of the Royal Ballet companies, performs a story of passion and pirates in Daphnis and Chloë.

The show runs from Wednesday, October 3 to Saturday, October 6.

Tickets cost £44.50 from 0870 730 1234.
