Dancing Times  |  January 2014
Well, here we are at the turn of another year, and everyone at Dancing Times would like to wish all our readers a very happy 2014. I like to think that this issue of the magazine is a kind of mini tribute to Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB), that much-loved company with its legions of admirers. In Talking Point, BRB’s ballet master Dominic Antonucci ponders the nature of male ballet superstars; Gerald Dowler meets BRB’s assistant director and former ballerina Marion Tait; and our Dancer of the Month is BRB first soloist Mathias Dingman. Also in this issue, Margaret Willis travels to Panama to see the relaunch of its national ballet company, as well as to discover its links with Margot Fonteyn, who lived in the country with her husband towards the end of her life. Paul Arrowsmith sees a new permanent exhibition dedicated to the life of Rudolf Nureyev in France, and Daniel Pratt gives a British view of what it is like to be a dancer in an American ballet company. Finally, in Dance Matters, we report on the verdict of the Pavel Dmitrichenko trial in Moscow following the acid attack on Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, as well as the latest news from the Vaganova Academy in St Petersburg.
