There will be magic on stage at the Prince Edward Auditorium this weekend.

Whanganui Ballet & Dance Academy will present The Fairies' Ball - a magical ballet with favourite Disney characters.

Director Anna Chandulal said the production was a dance fest featuring Belle and the Beast, The Grinch, Red Riding Hood, The White Cat and Puss n Boots, Maleficent and Tinkerbelle - all characters that have delighted audiences in previous productions.

"There are 80 dancers performing in The Fairies' Ball.

"They are aged from 5 through to 20 and they have all been working very hard at rehearsals."
