Hannah Kirkpatrick, Academy Manager at Northern Ballet, said: “This is a super opportunity for young people who like to dance to give it a try in a fun and relaxed atmosphere and get an insight into the training opportunities on offer right here on their doorstep. No previous experience is necessary – just a love of dance!”

Thanks for posting. Very interesting, especially as I know matthew Koon (first non white Billy and sky's first series of Got to Dance) was on this programme - now at English National Ballet School

Unfortunate timing for us as clashes with ds's rehearsals for English Youth Ballet in Newcastle
