Imperial
Ballet Teachers' Group - London
Another year has
passed and again we have more success to report from our Group members
with Miss Sarah Wilkins recently being appointed as a Childrens Examiner.
A family atmosphere within the group prevails giving a relaxed 'questions
and answers' approach to the professional status classes. The group meetings
offer a warm welcome to teachers of all levels and indeed we rely on
the arrival of new faces to maintain the numbers needed in our membership
and for the subscription to represent good value. All the meetings are
held at Imperial Headquarters commencing with coffee at 10.00am giving
teachers the opportunity to discuss and share ideas and problems often
encountered with the running of their schools.
