This is Olivia Forster, one of the Newton News paper round deliverers for Woodham area. Olivia was successful in gaining a place with the English Youth Ballet in their ‘Sleeping Beauty’ performance at Darlington Hippodrome last weekend.
She was one of the solo jewels and was chosen to dance en-pointe, which is fantastic. She has trained at Tiffany School of Dance in Darlington since she was 3 years old, and turned 14 this year. She has also been practicing for her upcoming two ballet exams in RAD (Royal Academy of Dance), Grade 5 and Vocational Intermediate, as well as a LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) exam in the next couple of weeks.
It’s been a busy time, but she has had a fantastic experience at English Youth Ballet and has still found time to enjoy doing her paper round. The whole family are so proud of her.
