The sessions
will be with international choreographers; Dominic Marshall, Ursula
Hageli and Richard Slaughter.
The dancers will also undertake ballet classes.
The
English Youth Ballet felt that most youth ballets were rehearsed
and staged in London requiring young dancers and their families
to travel vast distances.

gives great enjoyment to the performers, teaches them something
of how a professional performance is put on and provides the
public with a carefully prepared entertainment" |

EYB
have decided to do the reverse and come to a particular region,
rehearse in a school and produce a ballet in their theatre.
Previous
EYB's ballets have been a great success. Dance Expression
magazine (2000) said,
"it gives great enjoyment to the performers, teaches them something
of how a professional performance is put on and provides the public
with a carefully prepared entertainment".
