• BY LORNA VINCENT
• The art of ballet -in Canada
has come a long way from its
humble beginnings'in the
early 1930's. No doubt there
were teachers before that but
first of all dance was hwdly
considere41 an art. It was also
frowned upon by many
conservative people as being
somewhat immoral and
dismissed by religious bigots
erely a leg show.
True, daughters of well-to-
do families were sent to
dance schools to acquire the
poise and grace for a' suc-
cessful social life but to
mention a career on the stage
was quite unthinkable. There
being no protective dance
group in Canada one had to go
to New York at a tender age

• My earliest memories of
ballet in Toronto were
primitive by today g stan-
dards. My mother who loved
all art forms had taken me to
see the • great Russian
ballerina Anna Pavlova at
Massey Hall. I was so excited
and moved emotionally by
her ethereal performance of
"The Dying Swan" that I
cried. No ballerina since has
quite achieved the
spirituality which she
projected as an aura about
her person.
On returning home I an-
nounced to all the family that
this was what I wanted to do.
I shall never- forget the look
on my father's face. He was a
minister of the Methodist
Church and considered
dancing to have immoral
implications.
Consequently, a storm
•descended on my innocent
head. I escaped to my
bedroom, put on soft slippers
. and found that by holding on
to the back of a chair I could
stand on the -tips of my toes. I
danced around the room
. trying to wave rny..arrns like
the wings of a swan. '
• While the enchantment was
squashed by general family.
• disapproval my mother
showed sympathy and un-
derstanding. After many hot
discussions she gathered
information about who at-
tended local Ballet schools.
Among the students of a
respected Jewish teacher *as
the daughter of a highly
regarded minister, in one of
Torbnto's largest churches.
This finally broke down some
barriers, but I had to wait for
two years, and in the
meantime earn enough
money to pay for my lessdns.
