Lord of the Dance visits NULC

NULC A Level Dance students recently enjoyed a workshop taken by Daniel Jones, principal male lead at the English National Ballet.

Daniel is a real life Billy Elliot, having trained locally before applying to the Royal Ballet School.  In recent years, he has toured worldwide with National Ballet, taking leading roles in both ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Swan Lake’. Other career highlights have included Creating a role in Mauro Bigonzetti's ‘Symphonic Dances’ and performing ‘Tybalt’ at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. He is also associate producer and choreographer for ITV's ‘Men in Tights’.

Faye Matthews, Subject leader for Dance, was thrilled that Daniel accepted her invitation to come in to her class and ever so slightly star struck when he offered to partner her in a demonstration. Faye feels that her students have gained a great deal from his insights, experience and above all passion for Dance.
