Charlotte Arnold, 16 years old, and Georgia Redgrave, aged 17, both from Suffolk, have been selected to join the first UK-wide youth dance company, the U.Dance Ensemble, which will be formed of 19 dancers from all over the UK.
Internationally acclaimed choreographer Hofesh Shechter who is the artistic director of the company, was in charge of selecting the dancers at a national audition which took place in December 2011 at the Royal Opera House. The final company comprises eight dancers from England, four from Wales, two from Northern Ireland and five from Scotland, with all dancers aged between 16 - 21.
