BODENWIESER BALLET
DUNEDIN GIRL’S SUCCESS
Miss Shona Dunlop, who will appear with the Bodenwieser Ballet at His Majesty’s Theatre on Tuesday next was born in Dunedin, and early showed her aptitude for dancing. She decided to study abroad, an was for two years a pupil of Madame Bodenwieser at the Vienna State Academy.. She later went to Paris and continued her dancing under Ellen Tels, another famous modern dance teacher. After a further period in the Riga Opera House, Miss Dunlop rejoined the Bodenwieser Ballet and toured South America with it. She encouraged Madame Bodenwieser to return with her to New Zealand with the object of establishing a school of'dancing. Australia, however, offered greater opportunities, and she has played and toured with the Bodenwiser Ballet throughout the Commonwealth. At last Miss Dunlop realises the ambition she has long cherished of dancing in her own country, and bringing a little of the spirit of Old Vienna to her native land.
