Once again Scholarships and Competitions Season is upon us and KS Dance kicked off with The Cyril Beaumont Awards. This year the event was attended by many Guests including our School Patrons and many School Governors. Our adjudicators for 2018 were Maureen Christie, an esteemed Cecchetti Examiner and Practitioner of the method as well as Ollie Rydout, Rehearsal Director and Ballet Master at Scottish Ballet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This year saw a standard of Dancing as high as ever with some outstanding and consistent performances. The Award consists of one Ballet Class set by Miss Gillian Hurst accompanied by the wonderful music of Mr John Taggart. KS Dance is fortunate to have such talent on its faculty to continue the legacy of the Award and the memory Cyril Beaumont.<\/p>\n
Although this class is a competition, the professionalism and artistry of the Students was clear and obvious. Such classes lend themselves to students displaying their character and sharing their thoughts and dreams through movement. Needless to say the entertainment factor and camaraderie was certainly present this year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/2″][image_with_animation image_url=”1192″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]This year the competition was closely matched with every single Dancer displaying artistry, control, athleticism and elegance. The class work was difficult yet gave each Dancer the opportunity to perform to their maximum and demonstrate their own flare.<\/p>\n
