It was all white on the night

What a fabulous display of talent from the 200 performers, aged from three years to adults, who took part in Snow White.

In the tenth year of the school's existence, the costumes were spectacular, the enthusiasm was high and the dancing was amazing.

Dancing the title role of a one-act ballet choreographed by Rachael Tiffany and Margaret Singer to the music of Greig, 15-year-old Hannah Barron performed with elegance, poise and innocence that perfectly suited the role.

In this, her first lead role, she showed a maturity and confidence as she led the company through the well-known story.

It was not only about dancing, but also acting, as Suzie Millar demonstrated in her part as the imperious, wicked Queen.

Looking truly villainous in russet robes and a haughty expression, we had to bite back the temptation to "boo" when she took the stage.

In contrast, Kate Pilbeam's interpretation of the Mirror was languid and graceful and a perfect foil to the Queen's sinister majesty. Some light comic relief was offered by the seven dwarfs, who performed their parts with balletic athleticism, until the terrible moment when they discovered that their Snow White had been poisoned by the Queen.

Luckily, help was swiftly at hand with Jamie Rutherford as the handsome Prince, who saved her in time to dance the final grand pas de deux.

In the second half of the show, we were treated to an electric mix of tap, modern and jazz to a diverse range of rhythms and composers.

All the dances were performed with smiles that said that the company was really enjoying the chance to show off what they could do.

From the youngest members of the school to the more mature ladies, who proved that you are never too old to start, the numbers were slick and professional under the choreography of Sara Storm.

Particular mention goes to Shellby Moore in her amusing mime of Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.

Eat your heart out, Marilyn -this girl can also dance.

The finale of the show featured a challenging ballet for the major students, dancing to an inspiring and dramatic piece of music by Tchaikovsky. It was all beautifully performed and presented to an appreciative, and very happy, audience.

* The show was held to raise money for Cancer Research UK and The Butterwick Children's Hospice.
