PENARTH Times and Wales Millennium Centre have teamed up to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a pair of tickets to see Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

The fabulously funny show returns to Wales Millennium Centre this autumn for two nights only, and you could win tickets for the opening night on Friday, October 16 at 7.30pm.

Affectionately known as The Trocks, this company of professional male dancers pay hilarious homage to classical ballet, combining their love of dance with parody and preening for laugh-a-minute shows to delight both the initiated and novices alike.

A global phenomenon since they formed in New York in 1974, dancers including Ida Nevasyneva and Nadia Doumiafeyva will present an inspired blend of their loving knowledge of ballet, brilliant comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces.

To enter the competition, just answer the following question: What state in America did the Trocks form?

Send your answer with your name, address and telephone number to The Trocks competition, Penarth Times, c/o South Wales Argus, Cardiff Road, Maesglas, Newport, NP20 3QN or email penarthtimes@penarthtimes.co.uk putting The Trocks competition in the subject box.

Closing date for entries is Friday, October 9.
