Four Stonyhurst ballet pupils will dance in a production of ‘Giselle’ with the English Youth Ballet in March. Paul and Olivia (who attend St Mary’s Hall), and Alice and Joey from the College auditioned for 2 hours, along with 290 other children, in an intensive rehearsal run by professional dancers. They demonstrated excellent technique and the ability to learn effectively; this will be essential for the hours of training they will all receive in the New Year prior to the performance. “They’ve done exceptionally well and I’m really proud of them,” said their teacher Mrs Natasha Jones, whose 9-year-old daughter Leah was also successful in gaining a place, even with an arm in plaster!

‘Giselle’ will be performed at The Charter Theatre, Preston.
