Ballet at The Royal Albert Hall - Where to sit ?

I have been to music concerts at the RAH hundreds of times and know the best places to sit. However I’m clueless for a ballet which is a new experience for me.
Any help gratefully received.
Thank you in advance.

We saw ENB's Swan Lake there a few years back, and they do adapt the choreography a bit for in-the-round rather than proscenium stage, so if you think of the auditorium as a u-shape, somewhere in the bottom half of the u, and not too low down. You get a better view of the patterns danced by the corps in the 'big' scenes if you are a bit higher up. Maybe not up in the gods though, it's like being on the edge of a cliff!
