my dance teacher on my music theatre course is Lee Proud. he was in 
Cats for a few years on the Westend and also in Germany, Japan and 
somewhere else. he was dance team leader and played Scrimbleshanks 
and another that has escaped me for the moment. we were all in shock 
by having such a wonderfully experienced teacher - he was in 
starlight express for 3 years as the lead too - then we discovered as 
part of the first month of the course we were to learn the dance from 
the jellicle ball! how fantastic is that!?! we've been getting worked 
so hard - its fantastic - ive never sweated and enjoyed myself so 
much! we now have the jellicle ball, the opening dance the white cat 
does, old deuteronomy and the finale perfected and it feels soooo 
good! thank god for lee proud! i can really see myself worshipping 
him! so next week we're gonna film what we've done then start a jazz 
tap dance from Copa Cabana. oh yeah, and on wednesday he dropped into 
the conversation that if we were ever goin to the westend to see it, 
just let him know coz a lot of his friends are still in the cast so 
he can get us back stage! how lucky are we!!!
 
just thought you'd like to know!
 
a very lucky girl,
