English Youth Ballet returns to the Wolverhampton Grand for auditions
English Youth Ballet is returning to the West Midlands to audition for roles in a new production.
At the audition on June 5, 100 young male and female dancers, aged eight to 18 from across the region, will be offered the chance to rehearse with and then dance alongside international professional principal dancers in the production for three performances of Ballet Études & Nutcracker Suite.
It will be presented at the Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton from September 29 to September 30 this year. Award-winning English Youth Ballet (EYB) is now in its 19th successful year and is one of the largest ballet companies in the UK.
EYB director, Janet Lewis, said: “The EYB audition is an experience in itself. EYB is all about performance experience and this starts at the audition as the dancers are given a regular ballet class with parents and family encouraged to watch. We are looking for young dancers of all abilities who can show the audience how much they enjoy their dancing. The policy of EYB is to give professional performance experience to young dancers in beautiful venues close to where they live. The young dancers benefit from being coached and mentored by the professional dancers in an 11-day rehearsal period which takes place out of school hours.”
For more information and to register for the audition please contact Miss Lewis either by telephone – 01689 856747 or by email – misslewis@englishyouthballet.co.uk.
