Philadelphia Dance Academy Composer James DePreist, former Conservatory student, Nadia Chilkovsky, choreographer and Nicholas Nahumck scenic designer, prepare a Phi- ladelphia Dance Academy program. The Philadelphia Dance Academy is located not far from the Philadelphia Musical Academy. It is supervised by Nadia Chilkovsky, and presently enrolls fourteen students. The principles of teaching are based on strict discipline of technical study combined with complete freedom of the imagination. Special attention is given to the talented student who is guided in a highly personal manner so that he may mature as an individual artist with an independent style of dance expres- sion. Upon graduation the student is ready to become a dancer, a choreographer, a teacher and notator. On Wednesday evening, March 4, 1904, the Philadelphia Dance Academy was featured at the Plays and Players Theater. The program was divided into three parts: Chopiniana ; Sprig of Lilac , a fascinating dance based on the poem When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed by Walt Whitman, and communicating the emotional climate at the time of Lincoln ' s assassination; and an exciting jazz ballet Bagatelles ' ' .
