The P2-P5 pupils from Valley Primary School will take to the stage at Adam Smith Theatre on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 March 2026. They will perform alongside balletLORENT's own dancers, getting a real taste for the world of performing arts.
The pupils were selected for their enthusiasm and spirit following a workshop for 120 of them was led by balletLORENT dancers Gavin Coward and Debbi Purtill at the Valley Gardens school. All the young performers are aged between six and ten and they will appear in two scenes.
The Kirkcaldy show is part of a mini tour that takes in Glasgow and Dundee, as well as a couple of dates in England. However the pupils will not be leaving their studies behind to go on the road. balletLORENT will find a new ‘young cast’ in each location.
With choreography by balletLORENT artistic director Liv Lorent, costumes by Lady Gaga and Madonna designer Nasir Mazhar and Libby El-Alfy (Game of Thrones) and music by Dr Who composer Murray Gold, the children will be part of an impressive line-up of talent.
Deputy headteacher Dan Woodcraft, Valley Primary School, said: “We are so excited to have some of our pupils involved in this excellent opportunity.
“We believe in being the heart of the community, learning together to be the best we can be. Taking part in this workshop and performing at the Adam Smith Theatre is a perfect example of this.”
P3 pupil Raevyn said they were "a bit nervous and also happy to be taking part" whilst Victor, P4, said he was "a tiny bit scared and super excited all at the same time."
James MacGillivray, education & projects manager, balletLORENT said: “For many children, taking part in a professional stage production is a unique and transformative experience. It not only builds their confidence and creativity but also enhances their ability to collaborate, communicate, and express themselves in new ways.
“Schools benefit immensely too from our young cast initiative, as these workshops enrich their arts provision and inspire both students and teachers alike.”
Suitable for ages 5+, balletLORENT’s dance theatre version of Snow White retains all the classic elements of the original Brothers Grimm tale, which has been familiar to story lovers for over two centuries.
The show is a significant reworking of balletLORENT's 2015/16 Snow White, which delighted audiences around the country and received four star reviews in The Guardian and The Times when it toured again in 2025.
Directed by balletLORENT founder Liv Lorent, the Valley Primary children will join a professional cast featuring performers of all ages. Sixty-two year old balletLORENT regular Caroline Reece plays the Queen whilst her King, Geoff Hopson, 55, came out of dance retirement especially for the production.
