5th August - Awards for Miss Emily at Royal Ballet School!
In April this year, Miss Emily (11) was one of a select few accepted into the White Lodge Royal Ballet International Summer School and travelled to the UK for a week long programme in late July. As the only Australian in her age group (10-12yrs), Miss Emily was amongst other Royal Ballet School associates, full time white lodge students and one other international student.
Emily attended classes with Ms Hope Keelan (Assistant Principal White Lodge) and other teachers of the RBS. During the summer school, Emily took classes in classical ballet, mime, repetoire, jazz, morris dancing, and character. A very special guest, Ms Gailene Stock (Director of the Royal Ballet School) attended classes on one day and praised Miss Emily's beautiful dancing.
At the end of the week, Miss Emily and her 26 group members danced in the final performance at the White Lodge Theatre to an audience of RBS faculty and parents. The performance was concluded with a special presentation where Miss Emily was awarded the 'Certificate of Commendation' as voted by the RBS faculty for the most outstanding dancer in her age group! Ms Diane van Schoor (Principal of RBS Lower School) presented the award to Emily who was most excited and gracious.
Congratulations Miss Emily from Miss Jasmin, Miss Paris and all at MDA for such a wonderful achievement!!!
