LIBBY MILLS (16) to dance with ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET.

About 2 months ago I found, along with some others from English National Ballet Youth Company, I would be performing in Petrushka, which is part of 'A Tribute to Rudolf Nureyev'. I was so excited when I found out that we would be performing at the London Coliseum with the rest of the English National Ballet company! There are 5 performances, 2 on the 25th July, 1 on the 26th and 2 on the 27th. We have 7 rehearsals in London starting on the 19th, of which, 2 finish at 10pm!

I have been dancing since I was 3 and joined Turning Pointe when I was 4, doing mainly ballet at first, until I was introduced to contemporary dance, which I now really enjoy and started Intermediate Modern in January. I am currently attending Central School of Ballet's associate program on Saturdays where we do contemporary and ballet, and in September we are going to be starting Pilates and character dance as well. On Friday nights I go to ENBYouthCo where we do ballet and contemporary from 6:30 - 8:30pm which is quite tiring but great fun! In March (aged 15) I gained a Distinction for the Grade 8 Ballet Award.
