Britain's Countess of Wessex (C) poses for photographs with four
dancers at the Central School of ballet in central London, March 26,
2003. The Countess was at the school to see the work of some of the 96
full-time students, and to visit the site for a planned performance
theatre on the roof of the building. The school celebrated its 20th
anniversary last year, and launched an appeal for 3 million pounds
sterling ($4, 718, 700) for redevelopment and refurbishment of the
premises. REUTERS/John Stillwell/POOL
