LAST seen in the UK in 2012, one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary dance companies, Nederlands Dans Theater 2, returns to the Theatre Royal, Plymouth tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday.

Under the artistic directorship of British-born Paul Lightfoot, Nederlands Dans Theater is headquartered at the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague.

Since its foundation in 1959, this pioneering company has built a rich repertoire of more than 600 ballets by master choreographers.
