Here in the life of LCB it is so enjoyable but also hard work. Its now less than a month before the first performance and it is getting very exciting but I am also getting a little nervous! In the rehearsals we are learning so much from Jenna and Amy but also from the other amazing dancers. Its incredible to watch older and more experienced dancers such as one of my older friends James who is playing the prince. I hope when I am older I’ll get to perform as a principal character one day because …

December 2014 I’m looking forward to over a hundred hours of ballet.  And I’m very excited because I now know what I am in the casting - except I don’t really know what the parts are. I’m looking forward to January when we have our first rehearsal - wondering who Snow White and the Prince are - and to get started.  January to February 2015 When I arrived at the first rehearsal session I was nervous because I was the first boy to arrive so when I walked into the waiting room it was completely …

LCB was an AMAZING experience as I really enjoy dancing, especially ballet. The costumes and rehearsals were lots of fun and I made loads of kind friends. Before the tour, I had never been to a special needs school or a residential/care home but it was very exciting. I enjoyed seeing joyful faces in the audiences and I'm looking forward to auditioning for the stage show again next year . I really hope I get to see everyone again and hopefully get to perform in another LCB production. Amari Webb…

Rehearsals were really fun, however the actual tour with the costumes was incredible.  Performing in front of an audience really brought the experience to life.  As much as I enjoyed the actual dancing, I really enj…

Hi! I’m Sofia and I am really excited to be chosen for this year’s LCB production of Snow White!  LCB is such a friendly company and I’m so glad to be part of it – for a second time as well. I have been watching the productions since I was six and from that day on, I had made it my goal to be on that stage... and my dream came true!  Before the auditions I was feeling a bit nervous, but as soon as I got there I realised that there was nothing to be scared of - everyone was really friendly and a…

My Grandma always says "patience is s virtue!" I feel that this definitely needs to apply to dancers! Now I am waiting ,again, for an e-mail of the cast list!! Auditions shouldn't be called a great experience of dance, but a great experience of waiting. What with waiting for post, waiting for your turn to dance, waiting for e-mails and I'm sure there will be a lot of waiting in rehearsals. It's a kind of exciting waiting, like waiting to go on a big roller coaster!! So, waiting=patience=ballet! …
