I ADORE the work of Matthew Bourne, and was thrilled to bits to shake his hand at one performance, I think it was The Red Shoes at The Lowry. What an amazing, creative person he is!!!

I like it very much, I think Mr. M. B. has revolutionized the ballet world, the respect from Croatia

I loved it when they preformed in Dublin, Ireland in 2019 and the story telling was beautiful and the whole thing was incredible.

Gosh, Ball is such a deadringer of Polunin. No wonder TRB promotes this relatively young danseur to principal status.

[@alif8736]

I've never thought about that but wow. So true! Could be his brother!

[@MissCassidy]

He looks like a healthier version 😂😂

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

mannail888 absolutely what I thought! He is such a great actor too

[@Sharpe1502]

I was so confused for a second. I was like, “Polunin? Where are the tattoos?”
