Builders swap trowels for tutu's


This clip has just arrived - trust me, it's worth watching !

Builders working on the new home of Northern Ballet Theatre, spent the day learning what it takes to be a ballet dancer. They've raised a lot of money for charity in the process.

  3. Hilarious! Totally brought a smile to my face! And I just adore your blog, it speaks to the 6 year old ballet dancer inside of me (who sadly lost out to the 6 year old swimmer inside of me).
