A local ballet school held its first show after two years this month (July) after not being able to perform due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Gail Burgess school of ballet welcomed over 200 guests, families and friends, to Neale-Wade Academy in March on Saturday July 2 for what has been described as a “spectacular” event.

Just over 100 students across a range of ages took part in the performance which included many different dances including some from Cinderella.

Ballet teacher Gail Burgess said: “All the students were very excited to finally be able to put on a show after the pandemic put the shows on hold since 2019.
