A 10-year-old Suffolk ballet dancer has just finished a sold-out run of shows at the Royal Opera House and is now looking forward to taking up a highly-coveted place at the Royal Ballet School.
Hudson Miller from Barrow, near Bury St Edmunds, has just completed 13 performances of Cinderella at the Royal Opera House.
Following six weeks of rehearsals in London, Hudson said being on stage is "a feeling like no other".
"I always get goosebumps when dancing on stage," he said.
"The Royal Opera House was completely sold out for every performance I did of Cinderella - that's over 2,000 faces watching you perform.
"I love it."
Performing alongside famed Suffolk ballet dancer Gary Avis, Hudson played a winter page boy and said he took great inspiration from his fellow dancers.
"When you're standing at the side of the stage watching, you just get to look up to the older dancers," he said.
"I think, one day that could be me."
Hudson's mum Vicki is a ballet dancer and teacher, with his dad, Ian, a footballer, who played for Ipswich Town, Cambridge United and Darlington.
"I'm an emotional wreck when he's on stage, I just sob," said Mr Miller.
"Whenever I see him perform, I just want to stand up and shout 'that's my son'."
Hudson first started dancing at the age of four at the The Ann Holland School of Theatre Dance.
In September, he was chosen from more than 1,400 people who auditioned to become one of 12 boys studying dance at the Royal Ballet School in their Junior Associate class.
Offering world-class training, about 93% of current students rely on financial support to attend the school, which costs £36,000 per year.
