ROYAL NATIONAL BALLET

Yesterday, the children we really lucky. The Royal National Ballet ran a workshop with the children teaching them the basics of ballet. Over the next 5 weeks the children are going to choreograph a dance to go with George Gershwin's 'Summertime'. They will even design and make the backdrop to the stage, the props and even their own costumes. Here are some of the children's thoughts about yetserday.
