| Title | [Ann Hutchinson Guest] Draft copies of Labanotation reading exercises for ballet dance |
| Date | 20th Century |
| Extent | 1 file |
| Description | The Labanotation reading exercises appear to have originally been used in ten lessons [although not all of the pages from these lessons seem to be present in the file].
The draft copies were created in the mid- to late-20th Century. Some of the draft copies are annotated and some have attached notes regarding their editing, with the annotations and notes made mid- to late-20th Century.
A note on the front of the file, written late-20th Century, suggests that the reading exercises may have been intended for use in an A Level [General Certificate of Education - Advanced Level].
