LCB is looking for 50 talented young dancers (girls aged 9-14, boys 9-16) to perform in our 2025 ballet, 'Ella’s Big Chance ~ A Jazz Age Cinderella', at the Peacock Theatre (3rd- 6th July). 48 dancers will also be selected for LCB’s community touring companies.

All roles in the ballet are danced by children. Dancers will receive over 100 hours of expert coaching every Sunday, culminating in eight West End performances with a live orchestra. There is no fee for the LCB training and performance experience - although we would appeal to those who are happy to make a contribution, as we depend on charitable support to ensure that the experience remains open to all. 

LCB encourages applications from ALL passionate young dancers, as we choose a cast who are engaging and enjoy telling a story. We are casting a narrative ballet and need diversity in our characterisation. We do all we can to make the audition an enjoyable day as we know that there will be many first-time audition candidates.

LCB is also looking to cast up to 48 dancers to form 4 touring companies, which rehearse for 5 days, then perform over a week in care homes, community centres and special educational needs schools across London.
