Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, aka the Ballet Boyz, are pioneers in making modern dance accessible and entertaining through their celebrated stage and television work. They met at the Royal Ballet School and went on to become leading dancers with The Royal Ballet. In 2001 they set up their own company, Ballet Boyz, and established themselves as one of the most original and dynamic partnerships in modern dance: revolutionising programming formats; commissioning new choreography; collaborating with a wide range of cutting-edge talents and building a following through their regular television appearances on the BBC, Channel 4 and Sky Arts.To celebrate 10 years as the Ballet Boyz, Nunn and Trevitt have hand-picked images from their company and personal archives to provide a unique and intimate insight into one of dance's most prolific, enduring and exciting partnerships.
