A Kingston Vale care home was filled with music and dancing as residents were given a special performance by the London Children's Ballet to mark this year's World Ballet Day.

The young dancers visited Care UK's Sherwood Grange, located on Robin Hood Lane, for a private performance of Ella's Big Chance.

The residents enjoyed the dancing and costumes alongside having the chance to share a meal and chat with the performers afterwards.

Judy Stewart, a 75-year-old resident, said: "What a wonderful performance and beautiful costumes.

"The young dancers were so talented and thank you for coming to perform to us."

There was a buzz throughout the event, as residents clapped along and even joined in on some dance moves.

Malgo Wcislo, Home Manager at Sherwood Grange, said: "We were delighted to welcome London Children's Ballet to our home.

"The residents were absolutely enchanted by the performance – it's not every day you get front row seats to such beautiful ballet!"

Sherwood Grange offers residential, dementia, and end-of-life care in a warm, community setting.
