Scottish ballet star Reece Clarke returned to his hometown stage at Airdrie Town Hall on Saturday night for two special performances - and received a standing ovation at both shows.
Reece performed with fellow Royal Ballet dancers and the shows featured excerpts from iconic ballets and new works in an afternoon matinee and evening show.
The 29-year-old followed in the footsteps of his three older brothers by taking up ballet and the Homecoming shows saw Clarke back on the stage where he first performed when he was four years old.
On Friday he met pupils from Airdrie schools and took part in a question-and-answer session and demonstrated some ballet movements.
The sell-out shows celebrated Reece's journey from local talent to international ballet sensation, with proceeds supporting Guide Dogs.
He said: "Performing with my colleagues, in front of family and friends in my home community, will be an experience we will always remember.
"It was great to have the chance for my colleagues to experience the warm welcome from the town that provided such support to my early development and in the journey to performing with the Royal Ballet."
Reece's career at the Royal Ballet has seen him rise to the rank of Principal dancer, performing major roles such as Romeo, Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake and the Prince in The Nutcracker.
The events were brought together in collaboration with Albert Bartlett's and North Lanarkshire Council.
Alongside friends and family, his childhood dance teacher Janis Ridley was in the audience.
North Lanarkshire provost Kenneth Duffy said: "The two events were simply incredible and it was such a special way to celebrate the remarkable journey of the Airdrie-born Clarke brothers and their outstanding achievements with the Royal Ballet."
