Lindfield resident Suzanne Gielgud, principal of the Gielgud Academy, which is based in Haywards Heath, said: “I am thrilled that my pupils had the opportunity to appear onstage among an array of international professional ballet dancers.

“This is the ballet company that I, and some of my faculty, performed with during our own careers, so it is wonderful to see these talented GAPA pupils getting their first taste of life as a professional ballet dancer. It has given them a unique glimpse into a potential future career for themselves and has inspired them to keep working towards their dream of being a professional dancer.”
