She has been picked to perform in Nutcracker

A 16-year-old dancer from MK is to perform in English Youth Ballet’s (EYB) production of Nutcracker.

Haylee Fong, who lives in Broughton and goes to Walton High School, was selected in a competitive video audition earlier this year. She will be dancing the soloist role of a Sugar Plum Attendant.

She and her fellow young dancers are currently experiencing professional dancer life in rehearsals, which span 10 days at weekends.

Youth Ballet Principal Lyndsey Fraser will be starring as the Sugar Plum Fairy.

She said: “The dancers learn so much about performance skills and the artistry of ballet...The sets and costumes in the production are superb and the whole experience is one the young dancers (and the audiences) will never forget.”
