A ballet company is set to bring a magical performance to Clackmannanshire this spring.

Alloa Ballet Company will perform Sleeping Beauty on March 22 and 23 at Lornshill Academy.

The show will feature more than 100 dancers aged between two and a half and 19 from across the local area.

The production will be split into two halves, with the first showcasing a variety of dance styles taught at the school, including ballet, acro, modern, and tap.

The second half will be a fully choreographed ballet retelling of the classic fairytale, Sleeping Beauty.

Rehearsals are currently underway for the show, with tickets on sale now.

Heather Shrimpton, principal of Alloa Ballet Company, said: "We are so proud to keep this production local, giving young dancers in Clackmannanshire the opportunity to shine on stage.

"This show is a true celebration of their hard work, passion, and the incredible talent within our community.

"Audiences can expect a breathtaking mix of styles in the first act, followed by a stunning ballet performance that will transport them into the world of Sleeping Beauty."
