CHILDREN from the Celia Benson School of Ballet entertained parents and friends with their production of The Snow Queen in 1986.

The performance took place at Botley Primary School, Oxford, and the 30 young dancers taking part chose to give the money they raised to the Helen House Hospice in East Oxford.

They had rehearsed twice a week after school to perfect their routines.

Mothers helped out with the production by making scenery and costumes.

Mrs Benson, of London Road, Headington, said: “The dancers have worked extremely hard. It is a very simple show, but very effective.”
