Anne Anderson, from Hawick, is hanging up her dancing shoes after nearly three decades of choreographing shows for Innerleithen and District Operatic Society AFTER nearly three decades of choreographing shows for Innerleithen and District Amateur Operatic Society, Anne Anderson has hung up her dancing shoes. A member of the opera in her hometown of Hawick, Anne made the 50-mile round trip to teach the Innerleithen actors. The 70-year-old choreographer, who amassed 27 shows with the Innerleithen Opera, crafted routines for performances in Hawick, Kelso and Galashiels. Anne says she thinks her introduction to Innerleithen Opera was down to one of the town’s stalwarts, Keith Belleville.
