My First Ballet: Cinderella continues its tour with great reviews
17 May 2017
My First Ballet: Cinderella has been sprinkling its magic across the country during our National tour. This specially adapted version of everyone's favourite rags-to-riches story, choreographed by George Williamson and narrated to help little ones follow the story, is perfect for children aged 3 upwards, who have been “transfixed” by dancing from English National Ballet School.
Take a look at what audiences and critics are saying about the production, touring until 30 July.
