English National Ballet Emerging Dancer 2020: Watch live tonight to VOTE for your winner

This event is always one of the highlights of the year for dance fans. It has grown from an in-house project to encourage junior performers to a fantastic evening streamed live around the world. This year, of course, everyone will only be watching online so the public have been given their chance to cast a vote alongside the judges. Scroll down to meet the six finalists and to find out how to watch live.

This year’s finalists are Ivana Bueno, Carolyne Galvao, Miguel Angel Maidana, Victor Prigent, Emily Suzuki and William Yamada.

They will pair off to perform a classical pas de deux and then each present their own individual solo. Choreographers and leading ENB dancers Jeffrey Cirio, Stina Quagebeur and Mthuthuzeli November have been heavily involved with the creation of new contemporary dance pieces.

The evening also features performances by last year’s Emerging Dancer winner Julia Conway and the People’s Choice Award winner, Rhys Antoni Yeomans. The winner of the People’s Choice Award will be voted on by members of the public via text during the evening.
