Page THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday Ma 1990 School of Dance is superb On a sunny afternoon some time ago I found myself on the great dance studio of The Halton Hills School of Dancing on Mill Street in Georgetown This is a magnificent high- space with a floor of blonde wood and one whole wall the one opposite the windows lined with mirrors The sun streamed through the glass panes luminating the turns and arabes ques performed by many millions of fine dust particles that danced in the air A tape played a measured tune In front of the mirrored wall a young woman in a black practice suit went through all the exercises she had learned in her course From the most basic to the more complicated steps the young dancer and her double the moved in perfect reflected unison Arms rose legs bent pro ud heads turned on long slender necks The dancers body had become through training an in of disciplined expression The normal movements of arms and legs shoulders and hips hands and feet had been refined and pared down and become pure essence balance grace nobility It was a superb illustration of how dance training takes the human body and it s natural movements as raw matenal to shape from it a sublime and highly kinetic art the art of the classical ballet Later that same afternoon a lady with a motherly smile ed She was the school pianist and no sooner had she made herself comfortble in front of the piano when a flurry of little girls m pink dresses burst into the practice hall prettily holding their skirts from their waists just like the great ballerinas they all imagined themselves to be Order was quickly established by the mistress of the school Ms Yvonne Oldaker a slim agile lady with coppercolored hair dressed all in white with the stringy step of the trained dancer She guided her young charges through the lesson by walking bet ween them and calling to them a melodious slightly breathless voice that sailed along atop the piano music like a swift boat on a blue summer sea Ms Oldaker was trained at The Hammond School of Dancing in England as a dancer and dance teacher After teaching in England she came to Canada in 1959 to teach in Montreal Later she went to Win as a teacher for The Royal Winnipeg Ballet Eventually she started her own school in Manitoba and operated it for years She returned to England and taught at hpr original school there and took additional needed training to become an ex ammer for The Royal Academy of Dancing in London England She became an examiner for dancing teachers and dance students She is also a children examiner for The Royal Academy of Dancing now and travels all over the world in pursuit of that task In she started The Hills School of Dancing as a school first in the base ment of St Georges Church on Guelph Street and
