What’s been inspiring our dancers lately? 👀

We asked. They answered: a little art, a little obsession, a lot of feelings🫶

Bravo to Zai Calliste! 👏🎉

Hatch House audiences at Ballet Under the Stars, 2025 will no doubt remember the incredible classical and contemporary performances by Zai Calliste, Artist of the English National Ballet.

Well, perhaps unsurprisingly, on Thursday night, we are delighted to announce that Zai won the award for Technical Excellence at the 2026 Emerging Dancer Awards.

We are extremely excited to confirm that Zai will be returning to the Hatch House stage, this July, for Ballet Under the Stars.

We were the first to interview Zai about his latest achievement and learn how joining our stage alongside English National Ballet, Principal Dancers Gareth Haw and Emma Hawes for Ballet Under the Stars 2025, made his transition from vocational to professional dancer feel seamless.

We are proud of the 20 year legacy we hold for identifying, mentoring and showcasing emerging artists and hope Zai had an incredible weekend coming to terms with his fantastic achievement.
