Only seeing this now. Really sorry to hear of his passing.. I was a pupil in his Ballet School. I remember he once had an article featured in the Evening Press. I remember he was strict in dance abd etiquette, always wanting you to achieve the best. I took part in his shows in the Dagg Hall theatre. Loved those days Thank you Mr Domican for all you did for dance. RIP
