Name: Eleanor McElvogue

Age: 16

Where are you from? Stratford-upon-Avon

I am currently… studying fashion at Stratford-upon-Avon College and pursuing the possibility of a career in theatrical costume.

I am a LEAP Ambassador because… I have a love for theatre, dance and the backstage arts and am excited to learn more about the magic of Birmingham Royal Ballet.

What are you passionate about? All things creative. In my spare time I love dancing, sewing, reading and playing the piano.

An interesting fact about me is… I designed and made my year 11 prom dress, which is my favourite thing I have sewn so far.

My first encounter with Birmingham Royal Ballet was… when my family took me to see The Nutcracker at Christmas, aged 6, and I was captivated by the whole experience.

What do you do in your spare time? When I’m not at college or doing one of my many hobbies, I enjoy going camping with Girl Guiding and helping out with the younger Guides and Rainbows.
