Thankyou to everyone who has emailed me saying how much you have enjoyed the previous version and how much it has changed your life and your dancing. I hope you find this release even better and I look forward to hearing from you again. Here is a letter I received just today. It’s people like this that make it all worthwhile.

Hi Anita,

I am 19 years old, from Melbourne Victoria. My mum purchased the Ballet Bible for me and WOW… It has changed my whole outlook on dance.
The 3 Simple Rules of a Prima Ballerina is outstanding and my favorite. 
Now when I am teaching the little ones, I have a better understanding of the technique and terminologies so I am teaching them correctly.
So it is not only helping me to become stronger, but the next generation of dancers as well.
Thankyou so much for writing such a wonderful tool. And I look forward to reading and learning more from your next issue.
Kind regards

Tamara Baird.

Another Sneak Peak Ballet Video

Here is another sneak peak video from the soon to be released 2nd edition Ballet Bible Package. This one is a demonstration in allegro. This gives you an idea of some of the movements and combinations you will learn in the new package. In the actual product I break apart all of these movements and explain exactly how to perform everything step-by-step.

Here it is.

I know you are going to be thrilled with the new package. Over the last few days I have been sending a few of my previous customers a link to check out my recent draft of the new Ballet Bible Package and give me some feedback on what they think. Well, the response has been fantastic.

Here’s a comment I received from Grant Davies himself.

“Anita, your 2nd edition package is absolutely awesome. I just finished going through all the new chapters in The 3 Simple Rules of a Prima Ballerina and the 60+ new videos, and I can honestly say you have really outdone yourself this time. I had no idea you were putting so much more valuable information and resources into this new edition. As soon as it becomes available I will be recommending The Complete Ballet Bible Package to all my students. Thanks for putting together such a great product!”

The Allesley School of Dance is dedicated to bringing out the best in every child. Whether the aim is to improve coordination, to gain confidence and grace, to learn the joy of movement or to train for a career in dance — every child is important.

Allesley School of Dance provides opportunities for children of all ages to experience the thrill of performance, the satisfaction of setting goals and achieving them, and to learn the personal disciplines inherent in dance. All classes are conducted by fully qualified and experienced teachers.

Classes are suitable for those children wishing to attend just once a week or equally those dance-mad or especially gifted students who can’t stay away! Examinations are always optional. Every child is encouraged to perform in the school show, which is staged to a professional standard.

In addition to regular classes, workshops are held by visiting guest teachers to broaden the curriculum and students are encouraged to attend summer schools and residential courses.

Pupils are constantly in demand for professional work and national youth companies. Many choose to continue their studies at full-time vocational schools and are encouraged to do so.

Former pupils are dancing all over the world in ballet companies, West End shows, cabaret and modelling. Several have gone on to study dance at university. Many more have fond memories of their time at Allesley, an appreciation for the theatre and many lasting friendships.

New Zealand Drama School

Toi Whakaari was established in 1970 by the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council and is still the premiere training ground for entertainment professionals in New Zealand. To date nearly 500 graduates have gone on to successful careers in theatre, television, film, radio and events, both here in New Zealand and all over the world.

In 1970 the QE II Arts Council established a one-year course for the training of professional actors under the directorship of Nola Millar. The school, initially called the New Theatre Arts Council Interim Training School (1970-1971) and then the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Drama School (1972-1973), was based at 127 Cuba Street in the New Theatre and started with 8 students, one full-time director and four part-time staff tutors.

In 1974 the school was completely reconstituted as the New Zealand Drama School to offer a two-year full time certificate course under the directorship of George Webby. The QEII Arts Council funded the operation of the school, and NZ Dept. of Education provided the salaries for the director and senior tutor. This school opened in temporary premises at the Wellington Savage Club in Kent Terrace (above BATS Theatre), and in 1975 shifted to 172 Taranaki Street (now the Royal Forest and Bird premises). The two year training course started with 14 students, two full-time tutors (including George) and four part-time tutors (one of whom was also full-time administrator).

In August 1980 a move was made to 5 Vivian Street into what was hoped to be permanent premises. Early in 1984 two fires severely damaged the building and another temporary home was found at 76 Kent Terrace. Four years later, in April 1988, the school moved yet again into 36 Vivian Street.

In 1988 they moved to a more bicultural way of working and were gifted the name Te Kura Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa: NZ Drama School by Te Puni Kokiri. Annie Ruth (now their Director) joined the staff in 1990.

After 14 years at the helm George Webby retired in 1988 and Andrew Noble was appointed as director. In June 1989, Andrew returned to the USA and Sunny Amey came into the school as acting-director until April 1991 when Robin Payne became director.

In 1991, under the provisions of the Education Amendment Act 1990, the school was registered and accredited as a Private Training Establishment, and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority approved the two-year diploma course. Also in 1991 the school’s association with the QE II Arts Council ended, and it came under the funding umbrella of the Ministry of Education.

In 1994 Bill Guest joined the School and introduced a two year technical diploma (now called the NZ Diploma of Entertainment Technology).

After many years of fundraising and planning Toi Whakaari and the New Zealand School of Dance moved together into Te Whaea National Dance and Drama Centre (the old show buildings) in Newtown in 1997. These facilities were purpose designed for the Schools and are among the best in the Southern Hemisphere. In the same year the acting course became a three year Bachelor of Performing Arts (Acting) degree. Two years later Miranda Harcourt joined the School as Head of Acting.

In 2000 Toi Whakaari joined with Victoria University of Wellington to offer the first ever Master of Theatre Arts in Directing in New Zealand under the direction of Christian Penny. Then in 2002 they partnered with Massey University to offer the Bachelor of Performance Design - this country’s first design degree specifically for the performing arts. The first students of this course will graduate in 2006 under the guidance of Penny Fitt.

Also graduating for the first time in 2006 are Bachelor of Performing Arts (Management) degree students under the tutelage of Bill Guest, who has also introduced a new two-year Diploma of Costume Construction course this year.
