Independent Ballet Wales

Independent Ballet Wales, formerly Cwmni Ballet Gwent,^[1] is a touring classical ballet company based in Newport, South Wales, formed in 1986 by dancer and choreographer Darius James.^[2] Formed of 8 dancers, the company tours to around 70 venues each year throughout the UK. The Independent described them as "a brightly gifted, energetic young ensemble that tours England, Wales and Ireland, taking dance to smaller venues that might otherwise be starved of ballet."^[3]

The company undertakes education work as part of its programme. Past members have joined ballet companies such as English National Ballet, Dutch National Ballet and Scottish Ballet.

Recent work includes the 2008 ballets, Under Milk Wood and Romeo and Juliet. The 2009 productions were A Midsummer Night's Dream^[4] and How Green Was My Valley?.^[2]
