From left to right are Saturday Sylphi Arlene Munroe curtsies, des Wait in Tum To Step Through Dance Exam Oshawa had a visitor on Sat- urday whose coming had been anticipated with mixed emo- tions by a number of little girls. The woman was Miss Joy Bury, children's examiner for the Royal Academy of Dancing, London, and she was in Osha- wa for the annual examinations) in ballet. Miss Bury will hold) examinations in many centres in Ontario and Quebec before she leaves for the eastern Uni- ted States. These 'are not the examina- tions for advanced dancers,| but the ."once a week" dan-| cing pupils. The Royal Aca- demy is the only organization of its kind that pays serious at- tention to the children who are| never going to be professional] ballerinas. If however, at the) of 19 or 11, it is obvious that a} child has the talent and quali-| ties that make a ballet dancer, | these children have the perfect} foundation on which to build. BASIC TRAINING Early training with a bad teacher will ruin the possibili-| ty of a successful career in bal-! let. Many girls have found,| when wanting to go further,! that not only did they have to "unlearn" much, but that their! backs and feet had been ruined) for serious training by poor teaching, or by putting on toe shoes too soon. The Academy does not pre- tend that its own teachers are| the only good ones, nor does it claim that all:non RAD mem- bers teach bad dance habits, but the examinations do estab-| lish a standard by which both parents and children can judge) progress. Piano examinations are wide- ly accepted. Yet, unless a par-| ent is tone deaf, he or she can tell when a child plays a sour note on the piano or violin. Un- less they are experts, they won't know whether the arms) are right in an arabesque or if the child is really strong enough! to be on "pointes". | In 1932 the Academy had one! member only in Canada. In 1939! Bettina Byers who was in Lon-| don, was sent back to Toronto! to organize teachers. The first} examiner, Dame Adeline Ge- nee, came from London in 1941. At that time there was one| other RAD teacher in Toronto} besides Miss Byers, Louise} Goldsmith. Now there are 321 in Canada. Gweneth Lloyd, founder of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, .opened' western Can-| ada's first RAD school in Win-|* nipeg and the word spread across the prairies SAME SYLLABUS All through the Common- wealth, including Hong Kong,| children learn from the same} syllabus. It is used also in Hol- could fit into a Toronto or Osh- awa dancing class because the French ballet terms are used and the child is taught the meaning of them. In many schools in the Com- monwealth, ballet is taught once a week as part of the cur- riculum because the Academy regards the art of ballet as a valuable part of general educa- tion, In addition positions, the children mime and. free expression, some national dancing and as they progress, something of dance history and costuming. Children's classes start with primary and go up to grade five at which time, if they continued to study, they would go on to to basic ballet |major or professional examina- tions. WITH THE BEST Miss Bury who has been a ex- aminer for the Royal Academy since 1937 thinks Canadian chil- dren's technique compares fav- orably with children 'anywhere. Miss Bury has undertaken many overseas tours for exam- inations, visiting Austral- ia (twice), New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, East and South Africa, Malta and Karachi. She trained at the famous Cone School of Dancing in Lon- don where she became head as- sistant. After teaching in Am- sterdam for two years, she opened her own school in Folk- estone and later in Twickenham and London.
