My series of February art classes By Janice Becker Citizen staff She just may be a future Karen Cain. -- At the tender age of 10, TaylOr Runstedler of Cranbrook has the poise, charm and sophistication befitting a ballerina. Runstedler, who has been taking dance lessons with April March at the Performance One dance academy in Listowel for more than three years, will this month have started for interested people in Cranbrook and the topic for four ses- sions is the proportions of the human face and portraiture. I guarantee that at the end of the course everyone will be able to do a portrait "in the style" of Picasso. But we are aiming for a little more likeness. Ethel euchre was held on Monday, Feb. 5 with 15 tables in play. It was hosted by Dorothy Dilworth. Winners were: 50/50, Kathleen Whaley; high, Jean Schneider, John Subject; lone hands, Isabelle Bremner, Violet Smith, Lorne Lambkin; low, Isabelle Craig, George Pearson; tally, Donna Moore, Margaret Peebles, Annie McCourt, Marguerite Beirnes, Lois have the opportunity to take a giant leap forward in her quest to become a ballerina. At the suggestion of her teacher, Runstedler will travel to London, Feb. 21 to audition for the National Ballet School of Canada summer program. Geared to young dancers in Grade 5, the nation-wide try-outs select 150 participants to attend the four-week summer program in Toronto. Successful completion results in 50 dancers being invited to join the year-round academic school. Unlike what an audition may be perceived to be, Runstedler will not be asked to perform a specific piece, but the judges will be looking at her general body type, musicality or ability to keep a rhythm. McLean, Keith Turnbull, Agnes Harrow, Jim Smith, Bob Bateman, Iola Subject. The next euchre will be held on Monday, Feb. 19 at 8:30 p.m. r_,6)\ Please Recycle \itel This Newspaper Because they are such an elite school, Runstedler's mother, Jane, said the judges look for students they will be able to teach. "They look at their ability to (dance)." On the prospective of attending a school in Toronto for four`weeks, Runstedler said, "It is exciting. It will be worthwhile and a wonderful experience, but I will be nervous. I will be sad to be away from my fam- ily, but happy because this could be my future." With her future perhaps looking bright, Runstedler can also look back on several great achievements during her short time in dance. She has earned many ribbons and trophies over the past two years and takes great pride in the fact that she is the first student her teacher has recom- mended for the auditions. Asked what it is about ballet that fueled her love of dance, she smiles, saying, "It makes you feel alive - special." Though her teacher encourages her to spend more hours practising, the youngster now works at her craft one to two hours per day and spends four days a week at the studio. "Taylor has been working hard, practicing every Sunday in prepara- tion for the audition," said March. March suggested Runstedler par- ticipate in the audition because of her determination, willingness to work hard and her physical atrributes are those of a dancer. "She also has a great mind set about what she wants to accom- plish," March added. To display their talents, Runstedler and others from Performance One will perform at Listowel and District Secondary School Feb. 23 in a com- petitive showcase. The .evening event is in preparation for the com- petition season which begins shortly afterwards. Runstedler already has a contin- gency plan in place if her dreams of becoming a ballerina do not materi- alize.. "I want to teach or be a helper."
