Anushka Sheth, 15, who trains at Georgina Weston Dance Academy, said: "My journey with ballet started when I was just three years old. My mum learnt classical dance when she was young and thought I might enjoy it too.
"She was right, as I completely fell in love with ballet."
She added: "The absolute best feeling of being a dancer is when months of dedicated effort finally come together under the stage light and in that moment, you get lost in the music and truly share your love of dance with the audience. By training and performing with EYB, I am excited to elevate my techniques and gain invaluable experience and the thrill of dancing alongside true professionals."
Olivia Richards, EYB principal dancer, said: "I was lucky to be able to dance with EYB in Cardiff when I was a young dancer.
"The dancers learn so much about performance skills and the artistry of ballet. I love now working as a principal dancer with EYB because I get to dance challenging and iconic roles and I also teach the young dancers and see them progress."
