Melksham School of Ballet, Tap & Modern will be performing ‘Hansel & Gretel’ at Arc Theatre, College Road, Trowbridge this month.
‘Hansel & Gretel’ is the Melksham School of Ballet, Tap & Modern’s latest production and rehearsals are well under way.
This well-known fairy tale, by the Brothers Grimm, tells the story of a brother and sister who find themselves enticed into a house made of cake and sweets only to discover the witch who lives there means to do them harm. The clever siblings outwit her and the story has a happy ending.
The story is communicated entirely by dance, with the youngest performers aged just four and the eldest being 65.
The show has been produced and choreographed by mother and daughter team Anne Barrett and Jayne Green who run the dance school. It was set up over 24 years ago and has continued to flourish and grow.
Anne is delighted with the progress the children are making. She said, “It’s always a lot of hard work to put the show together but we all have such fun working on it and the students do a wonderful job!”
This year the raffles, which take place in all four performances, will raise funds to go towards a new dance floor at the studio, which is based in Melksham Forest.
Performances are always well attended so book your tickets now to avoid disappointment. Tickets are online at £8 (£6 concessions). All are welcome to this family friendly event that will have you dancing in your seats.
