Breakin' Convention, Sadler's Wells, London

This May weekend - as for the past decade - Sadler's Wells celebrates hip-hop, showing how the young are inspired to dance, how hip-hop engages and reflects their lives, their wonderful dance gifts, their hopes, their view of their world. I think it magnificent as a showcase and as an academy for so many ardent young talents.

Titanium, Peacock Theatre, London

The title reveals nothing about this new show by Rojas and Rodriguez of the Nuevo Ballet Espanol. Nine male dancers - experts in flamenco, hip-hop, B-boy - offer these contrasting and ebullient street styles. Anticipate massive energy and some heavy-duty footwork. May 5-23. Details as above.
