SOUTH Coast Ballet, Dorset’s youth ballet company is working hard to prepare its next production, La Fille Mal Gardee.

This is a full-length professional production of the famous ballet, choreographed by artistic director Caron Yardley and is based on the original 1789 production first produced in France, with hints and inspiration from the famous Sir Frederick Ashton version for the Royal Ballet, first produced in 1960.

You can see Ma Fille Mal Gardee at Lighthouse in Poole on Saturday at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and the Bournemouth Pavilion on January 29 at 2pm and 6.30pm.
