Principal Dancer Nehemiah Kish will perform at Sadler's Wells Sampled in London, England with Royal Ballet Principal Dancer Alina Cojocaru on January 26 & 27. Mr. Kish and Ms. Cojocaru will perform Christopher Wheeldon's Prokofiev Pas de Deux, which was created on Mr. Kish by Mr. Wheeldon and made its North American premiere October 2007 in New York City.

Sadler's Wells Sampled, which debuted last year to great box office success, is a weekend of dance offered at £10 and streamed live on to the internet.

As an international guest artist, Mr. Kish has performed with Stuttgart Ballet, Ballet Memphis and danced recently in the New York debut of Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company.
