A professional contemporary ballet company, Melbourne City Ballet, performed in South Morang this week.
The Brunswick-based dance troupe will performed Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Tuesday.
The dancers’ visit was thought to be a good excuse for local dance students to learn a thing or two from the professionals, so Whittlesea council and the company invited local and nearby dance schools to nominate two of their best artists to practise with the experts before the performance.

Dance Revolution owner Laura Iaconif chose Greta Xhaferi, of Mill Park, and Izabel Lozevski, of South Morang, to warm up with some of the City Ballet’s dancers.
Both girls, 14, are currently completing their teaching certificates.
Ms Iaconif said they were chosen because of their dedication to their art.
“They always put in 100 per cent and I think this will inspire them to pursue dancing as a career,” she said.
