Young ballet stars line up for Garden show

-

THE new stars of the London Children’s Ballet are preparing for their debut.

More than 500 children auditioned for the company this year and 30, aged nine to 16, have made it through.

On May 30 and 31, they will perform a 40-minute version of The Secret Garden at the Lyric Hammersmit­h.

Lucille Briance, who founded the LCB 23 years ago, said: “They can come in thinking they are going to be the prima ballerina but they find themselves working with each other so they learn about teamwork.”
