Professional performers are leading 50 talented dancers from across the region,
including some from the Welland School of Dancing, at Stamford Corn Exchange today in a seasonal favourite that has sold out this afternoon. Some tickets are still available for this evening's performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. Paul Meneu from Paris Opera Ballet and Lucy Meneu from Ballet Theatre UK lead the spectacular which sees original choreography by Maggie Purr and HenrI Tatton, whose ballet career has also taken them all over the world and they now teach at Welland.
