AUDITIONS 2010
“Rumpelstiltskin”
The LCB is looking for 50 keen dancers of all shapes and sizes, aged 9-14 (boys 9-16)
to dance in LCB’s new production of the magical fairytale Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm in the West End in April 2011. The ballet offers a truly special chance to perform as part of a professional production with an orchestra. There are many challenging roles for boys and girls with great scope for beautiful classical dancing and an opportunity to make new friends. Only a small costume contribution is requested with grants offered in cases of need.
All newcomers welcome!

“May we congratulate you all at LCB for a brilliant day you offered to the many children who auditioned. Giving this opportunity to kids without asking for qualifications really is a fantastic way for our young students to learn and experience for themselves the auditioning process.”
Loretta O'Neill, Ballet school principal
“We just wanted to thank everyone at London Children's Ballet for making the auditions such a positive experience for our daughter. Although she was not successful this time she is keen to try again next time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”
