A dedicated ballet dancer is still teaching at the age of 97 – in same dance hall she set up 72 YEARS ago. <br /><br />Sprightly Joyce Harper has taught generations of aspiring ballerinas at the school she set up in 1946. <br /><br />She still teaches lessons twice a week to dancers ranging from two to sixteen years old, and says the dance school is what “keeps her alive”. <br /><br />Joyce, from Henleaze, Bristol, was even awarded an MBE for services to dance in 2011, presented to her by Princess Anne.
