Swan Lake - A Spectacular Performance !

An amazing two sell-out performances at the Prospect Theatre where all had a fabulous time. From the small woodland animals to the graceful swans, all dancers put their hearts and souls into the show.The younger children were really confident in front of over 200 people ! And the older girls looked utterly professional and surprisingly older than they were !Well done to all those who performed solos and duets. It takes alot of courage to stand on that big stage, get it right and look happy all at the same time !

There was a very emotional end to the show, when it hit me that  Helen Peregrine would be leaving for university and for Melanie Lovell it would be her final show.

It is very rewarding and pleasurable working with such talented children.

'Thank You!'

I would like to say a big thank you to all those who contributed to my present during the show. I was thoroughly speechless ! (This doesn't happen often!)

I had a wonderful time at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden where I watched the world famous Kirov Ballet perform Sleeping Beauty. The performance was breath-taking and very emotional ! A real treat!

I would also like to thank everyone who wrote in my book and put such lovely comments. It is such a fabulous keep sake and I it makes me smile every time I read it !

We're off to see the wizard...

Another fantastic Summer School performance this year, as many children put all of their enthusiasm into The Wizard of Oz. The children spent a week doing tap, jazz, ballet, musical theatre, acting and making props and scenery. A fabulous time was had by all and it was inspiring to see the range of talent we have at Bluebell Ballet School. Well done to the children who performed on the last day, you were utterly professional!
