Ysgol Ty Ffynnon's newly selected scholars, Ballet Cymru and New Dance instructors after their audition sessions.

The Flintshire primary school has been selected to be involved with the Ballet Cymru and NEW Dance scholarship programme for a second time.

The programme is worth £3,000 for each scholar, and the children will receive weekly lessons, ballet shoes and uniform. The scholarship lasts two years, with school having first received it in 2019.

Along with their parents, they will also be able to watch Ballet Cymru perform at Theatr Clwyd.

Teacher Rachel Keenan said: "We are so excited, as the last time this took place it was a huge success.

"We were the only school in North Wales to be selected and it is such a privilege to be involved in such a project once again."

Headteacher Nia Goldsmith said: "It's open to all children in Years 4 and 5, Ballet Cymru and NEW Dance come into school to have a workshop with the children.

"They watch the potential the children are showing, and narrow it down to about 25, most of whom choose to carry it on.

"Then those children have a weekly ballet lesson proved by NEW Dance through Ballet Cymru.

"They're taught different dances, this year we have jazz.

"It's about opening new horizons for children who might not necessarily have had this opportunity.

"Cost can be an implication for many but this doesn't cost the school or the children anything."
