Irish National Youth Ballet ready to bring their latest show to stage.
Ballet Ireland, the Irish National Youth Ballet and Cork City Ballet are coming together to form a new initiative 'Pas de Trois' with the objective of raising the profile of classical ballet across the country.
They were dancing in the aisles at the National Concert Hall in Dublin today.
Marking the occasion, members of the Irish National Youth Ballet were at the National Concert Hall and spoke about their love of ballet and their hopes for their performance future.
The joining of the three groups is an effort to make sure that as many people as possible can enjoy ballet. Alan Foley describes the diverse programme of performances offered by his company Cork City Ballet. He says that if dancers are properly trained in ballet, they can do any kind of dancing.
In one of our shows you could have Tchaikovsky alongside of Nirvana, alongside Prince.
