Visit to BRB and Elmhurst, June 2010
To ensure close links are maintained with the Birmingham company, on June 16/17 a group of over 30 members will be making a trip to Birmingham for BRB's performance of On Their Toes! (Balanchine's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue and Theme and Variations and Hans van Manen's Grosse Fuge) followed the next day by a visit to Elmhurst School for Dance. We hope to meet one of our presidents Marion Tait at the Hippodrome and at Elmhurst we will be hosted by our another of our presidents Desmond Kelly, now Artistic Director there.
The Elmhurst visit will include a tour of the school, watching class and a rehearsal for the end of year show.
We will also be presenting the first Ballet Association Award to an Elmhurst student – now that Elmhurst is the feeder school for BRB we are keen to support it as well as the Royal Ballet School.
