Dancing Successes
Freda Woofinden 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Woofinden, of Mexborough, who recently scored commendable successes in examinations of the Royal Academy of Dancing and the International Dancing Masters’ Association.
Freda was successful in the R.A.D. (Operatic Section) and passed with honours in the I.D.M.A. (Stage Section) examination. She did particularly well in the Operatic Section, though comparatively new to ballet, and gained the highest marks of any candidate in the juvenile classes.
