Daniel Jones delivers ballet workshop

Friday 26 September saw Daniel Jones, formerly of the English National Ballet, come into the College to deliver a ballet workshop to Performing Arts students.

Daniel who has starred in many ballets over his career such as the Nutcracker and Swan Lake, retired in January this year, after spending twenty two years with the company.

He worked with the students over the course of the workshop, providing demonstrations, teaching them various ballet techniques and having them perform them back.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the session with Daniel and the College hopes to have him back in future.
