The pupils from, among others, St Thomas Aquinas Primary School, Bletchley; St Paul’s RC School, Bletchley; Denbigh Secondary School, Two Mile Ash; and Heronsgate School, Walton Park, are joining 100 other dancers to perform the soloist and corps de ballet roles in the production.

They will join international principal dancers Claire Corruble, Philip Tunstall, Mark Biocca, Ann Wall, Ilana Werner and Brenden Bratulic.

English Youth Ballet (EYB) was founded in 1998 to provide professional performance experience for talented young dancers. There are now ex-EYB young performers in some of the world’s best companies – including the Royal Ballet.
