Dancing with the Stars

Year 6 pupil at Pipers Corner, Grace-Mary F, has beaten 250 young hopefuls for the opportunity to perform alongside professional ballet dancers in an adaptation of Swan Lake at the New Theatre in Oxford.  Alongside nine other girls from the local area, Grace-Mary performed in three performances with the English Youth Ballet.

Not only was she able to dance with exceptional and professional dancers, she also gained experience of what it is like to be a dancer in a professional production.  Before the start of the production the girls underwent a 10 day intensive rehearsal process at The Oxford Academy. 

Mrs Doran, Head of Prep Department said “We are very pleased that Grace-Mary had this opportunity to showcase her dancing skills as well as work with professionals in the industry.  It has been a fabulous and exciting experience for her and something she will always remember.”
