THE dreams of a teenager have come true after she was invited to perform with the English Youth Ballet.

Olivia Devyea, 18, from Wrotham will be dancing alongside professional ballerinas in Swan Lake next March.

She said: "I'm very, very excited, I can't wait to do it. I'm really looking forward to starting rehearsals, I always enjoy that part so much, I never want it to end."

Olivia has been learning how to ballet dance since she was four -years-old and her career really took off when she was awarded a scholarship this year.

Three shows will be performed between March 23 and 24 at the Orchard theatre in Dartford.
