Young Dancer, a bronze figure by Italian sculptor Enzo Plazzotta, sits at 5 Broad Court in Covent Garden. Gifted to the city by the Plazzotta Estate and unveiled in 1988, the sculpture portrays a calm young ballerina perched on a stool, leaning forward to adjust her shoe as though preparing for practice. The Royal Ballet and Royal Opera House on Bow Street stand roughly 190 feet to the south, anchoring the work in the neighborhood's long association with dance. - AsNotedIn
