The Twists and Turns of Ballet

Dancers Anna McCoy and Georgia Crawford with their dance teacher Anna Carapellotti to talk about the challenges of ballet dancing, the athleticism needed and the elite training.

With the Belfast International Ballet Festival this weekend, Lynette hears about the training that goes into ballet dancing similar to the Olympians and Premier League footballers, she talks to local ballerinas Anna McCoy and Georgia Crawford and hears from ballet teacher Anna Carapellotti who also teaches ballet techniques to people living with Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis.
And F茅ile na hAbhann (Festival of the River) is all about celebrating the River Lagan with family-friendly goings-on across the half-mile stretch of the river between the Shaftesbury Recreation Centre and the Albert Bridge. All that plus cracker tunes from T-Rex, Texas and Whitney Houston.
