Also on stage with them are babyballet characters, Twinkle and Teddy the Bears, Flutterby the Fairy and Chuck the Cowboy.

There are two shows on Sunday, at 1pm and 5pm, and they have been choreographed, produced and directed by babyballet owner Claire O’Connor, who was born in Huddersfield, and teachers, Donna Greenwood and Laura Simeunovich.
Other teachers taking part in the show include Elizabeth Gunson, Lucy Crabtree and Hannah Butcher.
