He said: "Performing with my colleagues, in front of family and friends in my home community, will be an experience we will always remember.
"I'm also excited 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."
Janis Ridley, Reece’s former teacher and founder of the Janis Ridley School of Dance, also attended the show.
The event has been brought together in collaboration with Albert Bartlett's and North Lanarkshire Council.
Reece’s performances featured excerpts from iconic ballets and new works, showcasing the breadth of his artistry and the excellence of his fellow dancers from the Royal Ballet.
