The Company has a large Repertoire which includes:
The Nutcracker
The Sleeping Beauty
Napoli
Pineapple Poll
Petroushka
La Boutique Fantasque
La Fille Mal Gardee

Les Syiphides
Coppelia
We do not neglect Modern dance and the following items were specially commissioned for The Company:
The Great Gatsby
Forty Years On
(a celebration of 40 years of The Chelmsford Ballet Company)
Monochrome Moves
(an insight into silent movies)
In 1999 we celebrated our Golden Jubilee with a triple bill which included:
Beat Bop Boogie
(a fun look back over the last 50 years of music)
The Company has its own Artistic Director - currently Miss Gillian Toogood, former dancer with the Royal Swedish Ballet - and commissions work from guest Choreographers. Auditions are held each Autumn for the following year's production and casting depends on members performance at that audition.
In addition to the main theatre run we like to undertake performances each year in aid of charity, sometimes outdoors(!) along with promotional performances in local towns.
