Miss Lewis enjoyed an illustrious dancing career with the Royal Ballet
Company and London Festival Ballet dancing alongside such greats as Margot
Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. The company consists of a core team of 8
international principal dancers, 2 artistic ballet staff, 2 wardrobe mistresses
and 4 theatre technicians. The principal dancers have danced in some of the
world’s greatest companies including English National Ballet, La Scala and the
Boston Ballet. EYB is highly regarded for presenting lavish, large-scale
classical ballets and critics have praised the quality of the beautiful sets
and costumes.
EYB Director – Janet Lewis
says: “The EYB audition is an experience in itself. EYB is all
about performance experience and this starts at the audition as the dancers are
given a regular ballet class with parents and family encouraged to watch.
We are looking for young dancers of all abilities who can show the
audience how much they enjoy their dancing."
The policy of EYB is to give professional performance experience to
young dancers in beautiful venues close to where they live. The young
dancers benefit from being coached and mentored by the professional dancers in
an 11-day rehearsal period which takes place out of school hours. They
gain a unique insight into what it is like to be a professional dancer.
Young dancers have said “EYB is the best thing I have ever done”.
Parents have said “it is lovely to see my daughter gaining in
confidence.” Teachers have said “EYB inspires young dancers and
you notice something different about them in class when they return.”
Auditions will be held on Wednesday 29th March at
Sunderland Empire Theatre, High Street West, Sunderland SR1
