A four-year-old girl's dream of being a ballerina for the day came true.

Angelina Vidler, of Shoeburyness, Essex, who suffers from a rare form of cancer, rehearsed at the Royal Opera House.

With her own silver outfit and ballet slippers, she joined ballerinas from the Royal Ballet in rehearsing on stage.
Her wish was made possible by the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, which helps seriously and terminally ill youngsters.

Afterwards, her proud mother Hilary said: "Rays of Sunshine have granted the most amazing and special wish.

"Angelina enjoyed every minute of it and couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful ballerinas.

"This wish has given us all, as a family, so many happy memories."

Angelina, who was also given a signed pair of ballet shoes, is receiving treatment for Wilms' Tumour, a form of kidney cancer that she was first diagnosed with in July last year.

Nina Ananiashvili graciously accepts flowers from the audience during a standing ovation at the State Ballet of Georgia's debut at UCLA Live on Feb. 23. Ananiashvili started her impressive career in 1981 with the Bolshoi Ballet and then soon became a world renowned Bolshoi prima ballerina and an American Ballet Theater principal dancer. She has since been invited to dance with prestigious companies around the world. Her elegant and fluid form, exceptional technique, and dramatic expression distinguished her from all others. And even today when she sweeps her languid arm, she is the definition of grace.
