As the company enters a new stage of its development, it has welcomed young dancers recruited from Lilliput Theatre with a vision to ensure that Douglas’ dance legacy lives on. The veterans led by Harris, Charlene Rollock, Louanna Martin, Frank, Denise Dickson-Cunningham and Allan Balfour are ever present imparting their knowledge and inspiring these new professionals to their best.
