Cork ballet takes the next step to further young dancer's potential

The newly-established Cork Youth Ballet Company aims to fill that gap for young dancers in the southern half of the country.

“I felt Cork needed a youth ballet company,” explains founder-director Sinead Murphy from her base at the Firkin Crane in Shandon.
