Dancers from Cronton Sixth Form College performed a spellbinding interpretation of the classic tale of Snow White to a sell out crowd at The Brindley.

Benjamin Musa, artistic director and course leader for the professional dance programme said: “The Evil Queen has been a very special production which was the result of hard work and dedication from all involved.

“The students have worked beyond belief to put on an amazing show.

“It truly was our best performance yet.

“The atmosphere in the theatre was electric and the reaction from the audience has been phenomenal.”

Leeann Bellfield, assistant principal at Cronton Sixth Form College said: “What a fantastic performance, it genuinely was the best dance event I have seen so far.

“The quality of the student performance was out of this world and the timing of each piece was exemplary.

“I honestly could have watched the whole show again as soon as it had finished.”

Feedback from people who watched the production has been overwhelming.

One person said: “The choreography was exceptional and all the dancers were yet again the best advert you could have for anyone thinking of studying dance.

“It’s the first time I have seen a dance production and all the students were fantastic.
