The Magic of the Dance The Thrill of the Performance
Dancers
Miss Annie Stratman - Artiste
"I'm Annie, I'm 11
years old, I go to Orchard Academy of Dance and Performing Arts, my ballet teacher is Miss Nicola. I've been learning
ballet for five years now, I do tap and modern too. As soon as I heard about South Coast Ballet I knew it was for me! I was
eager to try it. I was right, I really enjoyed the Triple Bill, being a Hunter was really fun, we did a silly dance for the
Floorcloths, and our dance and costume for the Angels in Nutcracker was beautifiul.
I was really confident for
Cinderella - being a fairy, a ballroom guest, a townsfolk and a Midnight Fairy. Now we're getting ready for 'Mermaid'.
South Coast Ballet has been really helpful - I'm getting better at performing, and I feel much more confident
on stage - thanks to our great teacher, Caron, who is always kind, helpful, and in the mood!"
Maria Kreller - Soloist
Maria, a German exchange
student, trained with the Orchard Academy of Dance and Performing Arts whilst she stayed in the UK. In our Cinderella program,
Maria stated that "my time spent with South Coast Ballet is the most memorable experience and the best memory of England
that I will take back with me to Germany"
Teachers
Miss Sue Mills ARAD, RAD Diploma, RAD RTS
"As and RAD Teacher of 20 year's standing I value
the importance of classical performance experience for my students. Technique and discipline are an essential foundation,
but performance is what dance is all about. South Coast Ballet provides an excellent platform for students to express their
personalities and performance qualities. Caron's dedication and enthusiasm is inspiring to teachers and students alike
and her creativity excites both the performers and the audiences. My daughter has grown in confidence and ability through
her involvement with the company. I would recommend any student thinking about a career in the performing arts or who simply
loves their ballet, to get involved with South Coast Ballet. Congratulations Caron!"
