“I would like to go overseas eventually, perhaps to Australia and to Europe. There are so many good companies in Europe.” For now it is enough to be dancing full-time with the national company and to "be learning a lot from the people there.” In the midst of her own good fortune, the dancer’s thoughts are also with the
. other full-time Southern dancers, some of whom have left the company and others who will have to get jobs if they are to continue dancing for love. “It is really a shame. The Southern Ballet is just
not recognised for what it does.”
She acknowledges that the Southern company may not provide as rounded a training programme as the School of Dance, with fewer classes in character or modern dance, concentrating instead on rehearsal and performance. But it does provide a valuable stepping stone for dancers and, perhaps more importantly, ballet for the people of Christ-: church and the South Island. “We do have our audience out there. It will be sad if Southern loses them.”
