Opera and Ballet performances...

Throughout January our students have been rehearsing intensively and performing with some of Scotland's top companies.

Jemma Sneddon (17) and Christina McCall (15) joined the cast of Scottish Opera in their production of 'A Cunning Little Vixen' for performances at the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, and Edinburgh Festival Theatre. They were selected as dancers through Scottish Ballet's Senior Associate scheme where they both train every Saturday. Both girls have performed in many ballet and theatre productions across Scotland and are preparing to sit their first Advanced ballet exam in March. 

Ballet West: Romeo and Juliet

Many of our students train monthly with one of Scotland's top young ballet companies, Ballet West, as part of their Aspiring Professionals scheme. The students performed in a celebration scene of the classical ballet 'Romeo and Juliet' at theatres in Stirling, Perth, Glasgow and Cumbernauld. Advanced student Natasha Watson (15) was selected to perform in every performance as a principal dancer alongside the company's full-time ballet students, and Andrew Coleman (15) performed a 'pas de deux' (duet).

Also in the production were former CSBS students Hazel Kirkwood and Jessica Boertein who are now in the second year of their full-time training at Ballet West. Last year, they toured China with Ballet West, performing 'The Nutcracker'.

Well done everyone for outstanding performances!
