They will join characters on stage for the grand finale, entitled Ballet Girls and Hip Hop Boys.

Angelina Ballerina will pirouette on the stage for the new production from Friday, November 9, to Sunday, November 11.

The story follows Angelina and her friends, who think their dreams have come true when the Camembert Academy wins an opportunity to appear in their favourite television programme Dancing With Mice.

Angelina is elected dance captain to make sure the show goes ahead without a hitch.

EAST YORKS: Moves to end sixth-form provision at Market Weighton School have been approved by senior East Riding councillors.

Subject to a final public consultation on the issue, the school will officially revert to teaching 11 to 16-year-olds from September next year.
