Anyone remember-Desmond Domican?

    Hi,

    Just the other day I was thinking back to the time I did Ballet. I remembered my teacher at the time was Desmond Domican. His dance school ( now no longer in existence) was in Parnell Square, he used to live with his mother above the school. I remember the patron of the school was the ballet dancer Anton Dolin, it used to state that on the glass arch above the hall door. Mr Domican was a very strict but great teacher. I remember he used to hold annual ballet shows ( which I was in) in the Dagg Hall (also known as the R.I.A.M Theatre in Westland Row ) back in the 60's/70's.


    I tried to Google to see if there was any information about him, but there doesn't appear to be much. I did have some scrap book stuff from back then but it was amongst some items that got stolen on me. There was an article I recall from a newspaper back then ( most likely The Evening Press ) about Mr Domican, which also had a photo of him with two of his pupils.

    Does anyone remember him? I don't know what happened to him or anything. But if you have any memories to share or even a photo of him, ( to jog the memory! ) that would be fab. Would love to hear any stories/memories,

    Thanks

    Cheers

    Merlie :)
