Boys to join Scottish Ballet tour

We are delighted that 3 of our dancers will be joining Scottish Ballet for their 2021/22 festive tour...

Evan Steele, Marcus Miller and Roan Ogilvie successfully auditioned for the junior cast of Scottish Ballet's "The Nutcracker" and will tour with the company over the winter months. The group of 10-year olds will perform alongside the professional cast in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Belfast from December to February and we are very much looking forward to seeing them onstage! 

All three boys are in the Scottish Ballet associate scheme and train weekly in Glasgow. The boys attend weekly ballet classes with CSBS and are studying the RAD Grade 2 syllabus, jazz and tap. We currently have another 6 students in the scheme including another 3 boys, Kieron Anglin, Murray Leitch, Robert Paterson, and Majors students Jill Russell, Ailish Ogilvie and Anna Bremner. 

Lead roles...

We have an extra special congratulations to Evan who has secured the lead role of Fritz, Clara's mischievous brother! He will be using both his dancing and acting skills in the production to portray the troublesome sibling who breaks Clara's beloved Nutcracker doll.

Roan is also very excited to be involved in the production as his older sister Ailish danced the lead role of Clara in the 2017/18 tour. Since then he has been determined to perform in the show!
