What a wonderful year it has been! So many of our pupils have been writing books while in their spare time (and what a lot of that there seems to have been!).  What fun we have had trying to find the various venues for our troupe, and experimenting with the new-fangled  concept of "post-publicity"!  Three of our our corps members have been awarded PhDs by the Royal Academy of Dancing.  They submitted their dissertations in home-video format, and simultaneously managed to be on "You've Been Framed" three weeks running!

Finally, a spectacular collaboration between that super magazine "Loaded" and one of our foremost ballerinas has given birth to a wonderful book entitled "A Load of Bull".  This leads me straight on to our exciting programme for the next year -grant or no grant!
