The surprise opportunity arose last month after the former Methody College 18-year-old was talent scouted while performing at a festival in his home city.
A former schoolboy rugby player who swapped the scrum for the dance studio has landed a coveted place at a prestigious Italian ballet academy. Only 18 months after trying ballet for the first time, Oscar Hunter, who played as a second row forward in rugby, is moving to Genoa to join the Fondazione For Dance school run by the Russian Ballet College.
“And I moved to Methody – it’s a very good rugby school – and I remember playing matches and enjoying it for a while. “I remember trying water polo and running, swimming, football even, and just none of them clicked,” he said. The rare chance presented itself when a professional dance teacher who had travelled to Northern Ireland to give a masterclass at the Belfast International Ballet Festival watched Oscar perform.
