Spring 2026 sees Dance Consortium presenting its seventh tour of the iconic all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Fresh from celebrating their 50th anniversary, the Trocks continue to delight audiences worldwide with their unique brand of sassy classical ballet spoofs performed with choreographic rigour, flawless technique and impeccable comic timing.
The Trocks’ enduring love of classical and romantic ballet has always been at the heart of what they do and their parodies of its conventions come from a place of deep knowledge and respect. For every show, its elite dancers transform into two personas, ballerina and danseur, to perform some of the most iconic and challenging roles from the classical ballet canon.
Founded in 1974 in the wake of the Stonewall Riots, The Trocks started life as a late-night act on the makeshift New York stage of an early LGBTQ+ organisation. They have always been trailblazers and inclusivity, gender fluidity and body positivity, once subversive now part of the mainstream, are a given for them.
Join us for the post-show Q&A on Friday 5 June with a BSL interpreter.
