Against all odds, fortunately World Ballet Day will go online also this year. The now traditional, exciting day that, thanks to internet connections, takes us to see the daily life of some of the largest ballet companies in the world is announced for 29 October.

By now global success, with over 315 million social media users connected in 2019, WBD 2020 already announces the participation of three of the promoter companies: the Australian Ballet, the Royal Ballet and the Bolshoi Ballet that day after day are joined by other formations around the world. Each company will be streaming live rehearsals and bespoke insights in accordance with their respective local COVID-19 guidance via their Facebook and YouTube pages.

Kevin O’Hare, Director of The Royal Ballet said: "Since 2014 World Ballet Day has proved a wonderful platform for connecting ballet lovers across the globe and now, more than ever, this digital celebration of dance promises to unite us all as we face new, shared challenges across the world. My heartfelt thanks go to Ricki Gail Conway without whose generosity The Royal Ballet would be unable to present this highlight of the dance calendar. We look forward to celebrating the incredible talents of all the international artists involved and bringing our art form to audiences who are missing live performance".

The novelty of this year is, alongside the various social networks, the presence of digital platform Tencent with which users from China will be able to connect to the event.
