DANCING prodigy Tala Lee-Turton is home for the summer but is certainly not on anything resembling a holiday.
Tala spends most of the year at the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow where she is halfway through her four year course.
Tala became the first Yorkshire dancer and only the ninth from Britain to be accepted into the academy in its 241-year history.
Now home until the end of August, Tala, 18, of Barnsley Road, Wombwell, is working on a schedule to ensure she doesn't lose any of her stamina or flexibility.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated July 11. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
