DANCERS from Northern Ballet will be leading a series of workshops at The Point, Eastleigh, ahead of its Southampton performance.

The classes will take place on Thursday for children aged three to 11.

Northern Ballet was voted best company at the 2014 Taglioni European Ballet Awards, and will perform Wuthering Heights and The Elves and the Shoemaker at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, this week.

Vicki Hargreaves, dance development manager at The Point, said: “We are delighted to welcome Northern Ballet to The Point where they will be delivering creative dance workshops with members of our dance community.

"Inspired by the steps, characters and themes from the shows the workshops will give our dancers the chance to work with a professional ballet company and develop their creativity, musicality and expression.”
