TAYLA Ross, a Grade 12 St Mary’s DSG pupil, has been selected as the school’s SPAR Star of the Month.
Ross has had a successful and eventful year as a ballerina.
Her first big achievement came in February when she was invited to represent South Africa in an international ballet competition. The talented dancer recently auditioned for the American Summer School of Ballet and was awarded a 35 per cent scholarship for a five-week summer school in July, but due to dates and family commitments will not be able to attend.
Tayla also recently performed at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre and won the Faith de Villiers bursary (15 to 20 years). She has been accepted by Cape Town City Ballet for their graduate programme in 2015.
