  • My-Dance-INTERACTIVE-3.Pdf
    i Since 1920, the Royal Academy of Dance has had a significant influence on the dance teaching profession – not just in the United Kingdom but all over the world. And our work continues to make a real difference to the lives of our members, students, teachers and staff. Classical ballet has played a central part in the RAD’s history and to this day is fundamental to who we are. Our mission, however, has expanded over the years and now includes an ever-widening range of genres and activities. Our students, who now range from two and a half to those in their 90s, and from all walks of life, can study styles ranging from ballet to contemporary, to hip hop and jazz. Our ever-increasing programme of outreach work brings dance into diverse communities, from those who are marginalised by circumstances or disability, to those who just want to have fun and get fit. And our Faculty of Education’s research into how dance contributes to wellbeing has led to the development of specialist training for older learners. The RAD is also the international centre for Benesh Movement Notation, which ensures that the work of choreographers is recorded and preserved. The increasing diversity of our work means that our relationship with both our members and many different audiences is also very varied. How the RAD is perceived today is often determined by a very personal experience. ‘my Dance’ gives voice to those experiences from around the world, united by their RAD membership and their passion for dance. From our Artistic Director to Genée candidates’ success stories and from members living in remote and far-flung places to figures playing important roles in theirlocal communities, all have their voice here, adding to the unique story of the RAD.

  • Molly Lake and the Founding of the Australian Cecchetti Society - Anne-Patricia Butler © 2011
    Shining a Light on the Legacy of Cecchetti in Australia: Molly Lake and the founding of the Australian Cecchetti Society - Anne-Patricia Butler © 2011 During 1934 the Dandré-Levitoff Russian Ballet toured Australia headed by Olga Spessiva, the renowned Russian ballerina. Molly Lake, an English dancer, was also on tour with the company. Lake was engaged by Anna Pavlova, touring the world between 1921 and 1926, then began dancing and teaching for Ninette de Valois and Marie Rambert. She had been a pupil of Enrico Cecchetti and was a founding committee member of the Cecchetti Society established by Cyril Beaumont in London, 1922.i ii Wanda Edwards and Madam Lucie Saronova headed a small group of teachers who were initiating what was to become the Cecchetti Society of Australia. They wasted no time in organizing Molly Lake to conduct the first examinations to be run and approved by an international body in this country. In fact, they predated those of the Operatic Association (now known as The Royal Academy of Dance).iii In a newspaper article headed Ballet Dance Examinations in September 1934: As a result of the efforts of a small body of teachers in various States, the introduction of overseas examinations in dancing, such as have for many years been conducted in music, have been made practicable. The Cecchetti Society has arranged to hold examinations in Grade 1, 2 and 3 in November, and examiners holding the society’s certificate have been appointed by the council at the London headquarters of the society. Major examinations will follow in due course.iv To date it is a little unclear as to actually what happened first.
