Not sure if she still teaches personally, but believe she's still active in the dance scene. She prob would also ensure certain QC in her school I'm guessing? But of course, that's up to those who've been learning and who have DDs learning at her school to tell us!Serendipity:
No personal experience with Sylvia McCully, but I hear that she's quite well known and experienced in the dance circle.
Is Sylvia McCully still teaching? I don't think so because she was around when I was learning ballet a LONG TIME ago. -
I trained under Ms McCully many many many years ago. She’s was one of a small group of pioneers on the dance scene 30, 40 years ago when ballet was almost unheard of in Singapore. She’s an excellent teacher and many of her students went on to have dance careers. I don’t know much about her school now as it has been 10 years since my last lesson with her. i’d love to hear about how she’s been doing!

Of course, when she calls on you, you feel two emotions...pride, coz it means she thinks you're decent enough; and fear, coz you don't know if she's going to see something she doesn't like and start giving you a well-deserved scolding there and then!
