Go and see the ballet stars gearing up for their big performances

Event: Royal Ballet rehearsing at Royal Opera House
Date: All year

People looking for something a bit different to do in the capital city can head to the Royal Opera House, but not at the usual showing times.

By going along in the day visitors can get a sneak preview of the ballet performers from the Royal Ballet and watch them practice their moves.

Packages can be bought which give dance fans the chance to see the company in rehearsal and then experience the behind-the-scenes tour of the venue.

People wanting to see a more polished performance can book tickets to see students in the Royal Ballet School Summer Performances, from July 1st to 4th, where works prepared throughout the year are showcased.

The series is described as "the highlight of the Royal Ballet School's calendar", with folk, national and character dancing being on display.

The performance has won two Olivier Awards, with the Royal Opera House stating it is "inspired by romantic emeralds, dazzling rubies and sparkling diamonds" and showcases the dancers "at their very finest".

Why not make a weekend of it and book a room at the luxury London hotel the Chesterfield Mayfair.

The hotel offers the A Room With Every Bottle Of Louis Roederer Cristal package, offering the Champagne and free newspaper, WiFi and breakfast.
