  This is evidently Pamela Bromley-Smith... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231549603 - the Sun, 9th June, 1947...'Young Ballerina for Big Quest'...pic of her here... She appears with Valentin Zeglovsky in pics 2-4 of this SLNSW Max Dupain series...there aren't too many pics of her available on-line, so this Max Dupain set is particularly valuable... BobMeade did the heavy lifting on this one some years ago... Snap! www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/6345523499/

  Very difficult and acrobatic ballet pose requiring bravery, grace, responsibility, and trust between the dancing partners.

Young girls competing at the Royal Academy of Dancing (London) exams held in Brisbane and Toowoomba, 1938

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Royal Academy of Dance method, also referred to as the English style of ballet, was established in 1920 by Genee, Karsavina, Bedells, E Espinosa, and Richardson. The goal of this method is to promote academic training in classical ballet throughout Great Britain. This style also spread to the United States, and is widely utilized still today. There are specific grade levels which a student must move through in order to complete training in this method. The key principle behind this method of instruction is that basic ballet technique must be taught at a slow pace, with difficulty progression often much slower than the rest of the methods. The idea behind this is if a student is to put in a large amount of effort into perfecting the basic steps, the technique learned in these steps allow a student to utilize harder ones at a much easier rate.
