An innovative dance company is bringing the adventures of Aladdin to life through classical ballet.

Ballet Theatre UK is currently touring the country with a dazzling retelling of the story about an orphan destined for great things.

The company says: "Tricked by an evil sorcerer, Aladdin sets out on a quest in search for the ultimate treasure.

"Deceived, Aladdin is left alone in a dark and damp cave to where he will uncover a life changing object…a dusty old lamp.

"With just one rub of the magical lamp, Aladdin’s journey will sweep you into an exotic world full of daring adventure, enchanting spells, unbelievable riches, treachery and of course true love."

Since its foundation in 2008, Ballet Theatre UK has developed a repertoire of original productions such as Alice in Wonderland, the Snow Queen and A Christmas Carol.
