Until now the only type of ballet to be found in Maldives has been the graceful antics of manta rays.

That is about to change. An ensemble of ballet dancers from Russia’s renowned Mariinsky Ballet Company, including first soloist, Xander Parish, will swap St Petersburg’s Theatre Square for a tropical beach backdrop as part of Pulse, Per Aquum’s stream of avant-garde experiences.

Overwater stages will spring up at Per Aquum Huvafen Fushi and Per Aquum Niyama resorts in Maldives as performances of Swan Lake, Scheherazade, Giselle, Carmen and Don Quixote come to life over two magical nights.

Guests at Per Aquum Niyama will be able to enjoy an exclusive performance on 21 August with an encore at Per Aquum Huvafen Fushi on 23 August.

Xander Parish, originally from Yorkshire in England, was the first British dancer to be accepted into the Mariinsky Company and will be joined by his handpicked ensemble including Oksana Bondareva and Renata Shakirova.

Courtesy of Per Aquum, budding ballerinas and ballerinos will also have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take centre stage themselves as Xander and his dancers will also be offering masterclasses at each resort during their visit.

Guests who book directly via Per Aquum’s website will receive exclusive benefits including an upgrade to half board at Per Aquum Huvafen Fushi and a 60-minute massage for two at Per Aquum Niyama, as well as an invitation to the pre-event cocktail party and a host of surprises including a signed copy of Xander’s book – from Per Aquum with love.
