NINE-YEAR-OLD Blake Smith found out at the weekend he has won a part on the English Youth Ballet production of Swan Lake.
However the Quedgeley youngster needs to raise £420 for proper tuition, otherwise he will not be able to take part in it.
His grandmother Suzanne Smith said: "It will break his heart if he does not take part, he has worked so hard. He won six medals at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts. He has never done anything like this before and has only started ballet since he was five and he is very good at it."
