(The Professional Development Course is replacing our Teachers’ Summer School in 2012.

Naturally, we would welcome our overseas colleagues, should they be able to get here!)

Award to Ms. Diane van Schoor
All the members of Cecchetti International Classical Ballet, most especially The Cecchetti Society of Southern Africa are proud to congratulate
Ms. Diane van Schoor on having been presented with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, Enrico Cecchetti Gold Medal, at the finals and gala performance of the Cecchetti International Competition,held at the Lowry Theatre, Salford Quays, Manchester, on Saturday 30th July 2011.
The medal was presented by the Cecchetti Society Faculty, U.K. Chairman, Ms. Elisabeth Swan, who stated: “ Miss van Schoor’s contribution to, and promotion of, the Cecchetti work is unquestioned and, in appreciation of her many years of dedication to the Method, the Cecchetti Society is delighted to award her the Enrico Cecchetti Gold Medal”
2011 – A Good Year
On Australia Day, January 26th, 2011, our founding member and past Chairperson Robina Beard was awarded the Honour – OAM- Order of Australia Medal – by the government of Australia. This was awarded for “Services to the Arts, particularly in Dance”. Her career in the arts, particularly in dance now spans 55 years, and includes 50 years as a committee member, 15 years as chairman of Cecchetti Ballet Australia, and seven years as the chair of CICB.
She received the OAM medal from the Governor on May 5th, where her husband and daughter attended Government House with her for the presentation. Her son could not attend, as he was at the hospital with his wife for the birth of their son Max. So Robina received an OAM and a new grandson on the same day.
