Cecchetti Day at the Royal Ballet School with Dame Monica Mason and Dame Darcey Bussell teaching Elite Syncopations to members of the Royal Ballet Company
Dame Monica Mason and Dame Darcey Bussell talked to the teachers at the Cecchetti Day hosted at the Royal Ballet School. They had many stories to recount regarding the production of Elite Syncopation, which was choreographed by Kenneth Macmillan and was one of his more light hearted pieces. I saw the ballet many years ago and loved it. It is being performed in April/May 2018 at the Royal Opera House.
Dame Darcey Bussell coached the dancers from the Royal Ballet company giving the demonstration, Mayara Magri and Nicol Edmonds.
Catherine Hutchon the Director of the Cecchetti Society thanks Dame Monica Mason and the Deputy Director Kate Simmons looks on with pride.
Foxhills Wedding in Surrey – Shot by recommended photographer Elaine Mayson
The bridal couple were married on a rainy day with very wet ground. After Elaine Mayson Photography had taken the initial photograph of the group shot from above. The bride made a positive decision to have the rest of the group shots inside. There was to be an official wedding breakfast and after that a rip roaring party, so many hours to enjoy! I organised a room and the staff and the toast master all helped to keep all the photos running smoothly. The family had a ball! The shots show what fun you can have even without the sun shining. I loved photographing this family I had a smile on my face throughout. What a pleasure!

‘Isabella in Danger’ The ballet based on my children’s book performed by 70 children of Kate Simmons Dance. Choreography and Direction by Tracey Moss
‘Isabella is drawing at her desk in her bedroom, so she did not notice a pink mist that was drifting in the room. The mist crept over her pen. ‘That’s strange! What’s this? It looks like candy floss,’ thought Isabella.’ An extract from my book ‘Isabella in Danger.
The ballet was performed to packed houses at the large modern theatre in Runcorn. Isabelle Stott danced the role of Isabella brilliantly capturing the magic and excitement of the adventure story. Tracey Moss did an amazing job of capturing the essence of ‘Ballerina in Danger’ and making so many of my characters come to life. It was a wonderful experience for me and I will always treasure my memories.
Inside the Pink House Isabella awoke to a little pink tongue licking her face.
‘Who are you,’ asked Isabella.
Isabella stopped the ballet mistress from giving the ballerina a sleeping potion. The ballet mistress was furious and revealed herself as Hagatha, the wicked witch.
Afterwards Isabella was very tired and she stepped back into the Pink House and found herself at her desk again. She decided she must have fallen asleep but then she noticed something sparkling on the floor. She went over to it and there was a star, a remnant from one of the stars dresses and she now was certain she was not dreaming. The invisible Pink House was real and she knew she was a very special girl to be its friend and go on such incredible adventures.
