Meet Your Teachers for Summer Camp 1999

Good Morning Madam!

ansy Tray and Bert Pušikurac enjoying a walk in Widnes Ballet Park between classes.  Their theme for this year's choreographic competition entry was "Hobbies".   Since winning the Violet Spim memorial prize for Pilates in 1987, Bert has been inspired to take his ballet more seriously, and is now Reader in Armchair Balletcise at the University of Slurry.

A rare picture of Ekaterina Eleftherou at work in her Ballet Bunker in Norbury.  Ekaterina has been manufacturing bespoke attractive giftware for ballet lovers everywhere since 1933. 


Here she can be seen examining the Customer Guarantee Form for her "Kitten Grips", an innovative idea which enables  pussy to do class too, with very little mess and inconvenience.


Please note that as at all summer camps, there is a minimum purchase requirement of  £56 per student.  Only two schoolchildren allowed in the shop at one time, unless accompanied by a zither.

Life behind the scenes at the world's favourite summer camp - your course fees already include £45.99 for copies of these pictures, which you will receive in your goodbye ballet bag.   

Leone Thang, a recent graduate from the Blandine Ebinger School of Classical Ballet and Jazz is seen here rehearsing  Is there anyone there?  First performed at the autumn term parents evening in 1998, this piece was later mentioned in the Ham & High on November 16th (later editions only).  Leone will be talking about her life and work during class. 

Olive Small, accounts supervisor and Romantic Repertoire teacher on Summer School Course No. B125.2C, Releasing Your Inner Sylph.  Olive has had a prosthetic calculator since 1970, and is able to perform a number of solos and calculations at the same time. 


Those of you who attended classes in the early eighties will no doubt remember the Barrington-Artois  sisters, Sappho, Lesbia, Noor and Camomile, who have been housekeepers every year since when.  Due to the unfortunate incident during  the Scythe Dance last year, parents have requested that we do not invite them again.  However, our best wishes to them and all at Belmarsh. 

Vietnamese choreologist Dim Lamp at last year's costume and make-up course.  Dim is married,  but she's managed to find time to come and pass on her knowledge of  fabrics, textures, smells and paint to another generation of students.  Some nudity is to be expected in her  module.
