4 Help support a future generation of dancers As a Professional Partner, you are helping the ISTD to fulfil our mission to educate the public in the art of dancing, as well as helping to support young dancers and dance teachers who are starting their training for a life of dance. The discipline that dance brings is the best. With careful professional guidance and understanding of their needs, a young person can gain self worth, self expression, the ability to connect with oneself, friends and communities, as well as giving a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Paul Streatfeld, ISTD Fellow and Examiner The most memorable event and the experience I will always treasure is being an ISTD scholar in 2006 where I took three classes a term at the Royal Opera House studios, taught by company members they really inspired me to become a dancer. Laura Day, ISTD student and winner of the 2009 Elisabeth Baines-Hewitt scholarship This year s summer course at Chichester was like no other course available and was invaluable to my development as a teacher. Colleen Briosy, ISTD Teacher
