A WESTBROOK school girl has started rehearsals for an English Youth Theatre production of the classic ballet Giselle.

Fourteen-year-old Emily Quinn, a pupil at St Gregory’s Roman Catholic High School, will perform at the Charter Theatre, Preston, on March 12 and 13.

More than 100 dancers between the ages of eight and 18 were chosen from an audition last November.

Now Emily, who is taught dance at Hammond School in Chester, will rehearse throughout this month with professional dancers who take the lead roles in the ballet.

The English Youth Ballet has been established for a decade with eight productions staged each year and each show uses 80 to 120 dancers.
