Original Toronto Star caption: Ballet up, Things are looking up for the National Ballet School these days, what with $2.6 million in renovations completed to its Maitland St. headquarters. That has the school's principal and founder Betty Oliphant smiling. But it's business as usual at the school as, at left, Tony Randazzo and Nathalie Caris, rehearse the Dolly Suite. At right, Patricia Hines and Mary Ellen Johnson are in one of the re-modelled rooms.
