Southam College pupil Lydia Fox, 11, and 14-year-old North Leamington School pupil Emily Wong who are both from the Leamington & Warwick Academy of Dance are both rehearsing for the ballet Giselle being staged at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre from April 3 to 4.

The haunting and romantic ballet will star international principal dancers Claire Corruble, Philip Tunstall, Mark Biocca, Ann Wall, Ilana Werner and Brenden Bratulic.

English Youth Ballet (EYB) held a huge audition for the ballet in November last year with Lydia and Emily finding out on the day that they had been selected.
