ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
Ballet pictures by Celia Hodgson
Ballet Recital
By Neville Creed, Director of Cultural Activities
A highlight of the Autumn Term is the Ballet
Recital given by all those taking ballet lessons
in School. This year’s Upper Sixth features
a particularly strong group of dancers who
have given splendid performances over their
five years at Teddies – we will be very sad to
see them go at the end of the academic year.
They were on sparkling form at the Recital
in December and the atmosphere was
enhanced by the clever lighting design created
by Casper Sunley (
Cheam
). Grace Allen
(
Dragon
), Lydia Jones-Parry (
Yately Manor
Prep
), Kim Pushong (
Sotogrande International
),
Emma Isola (
Sotogrande International
), Saskia
Chancellor (
Queen’s Gate
), Grace Jones
(
Cranford House
), Poppy Kettlewell (
Dragon
)
and Izzy Rayner (
St George’s, Windsor
) all
featured very strongly in this demanding
programme. The younger year groups were
also well represented in this sequence of
performances with a seasonal theme and
all the dancers assembled for a glorious
finale (Celtic Carol) choreographed by the
Producer, Head of Dance Lisa Elkins. We
look forward to the Dance Show to be held
in the Hall on Saturday 27th February.
