At the moment when looking round the world, all kinds of dance performances are being offered. There are competitions that claim to be a World Cup or World Championship, and the young dancer or the dance teacher who wants to enter his students might be quite confused. Which is which? Which is of high standard and good quality, and which is not worth going to? First of all it has clearly got to be distinguished between the different styles of dance and the purpose of such competitions. When a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she would never dream of going to a ballroom teacher. Such a teacher might even have been world champion in his ballroom dancing, but he would definitely not be qualified in teaching proper classical ballet.
People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.
The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions.
The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art.
Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.
The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (標(biāo)新立異) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!
【小題1】If a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she will go to         .

A．the Ballet RambertB．a(chǎn) ballroom teacher
C．a(chǎn) world championD．a(chǎn) qualified school
【小題2】The underlined phrase “new talent” in Para. 3 probably means         .
A．new programsB．new audiences
C．a(chǎn)vant – garde productionsD．skilled young dancers
【小題3】From the passage we know that the Ballet Rambert          .
A．has succeeded in making modern dance popular
B．wanted to become the oldest dance company
C．was once a popular dance company
D．changed old dance into new ones
【小題4】This passage is mainly about          .
A．the popularity of modern dance
B．the introduction to new modern dancers
C．the development of the Ballet Rambert
D．the high standard of dance performances
