Dancing Times Magazine December 2017 Zurück Ausgabe

as 2017 draws to a close, Dancing Times brings you dance from unusual places and situations. The Palestinian dancer Ahmad Joudeh was born in a refugee camp in Syria, and had to fight against the disapproval of society – and his father – in order to fulfil his dream of becoming a dancer. Now living in Amsterdam, Joudeh tells his inspiring life story to Maggie Foyer. Meanwhile, in the sultanate of Oman, dance and ballet is regularly performed at the Royal Opera House in Muscat. Laura Dodge travelled to the city on behalf of Dancing Times in order to see a performance of Swan Lake and find out more about the cultural work of the theatre.
Also in this issue, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Camilla Sacre-Dallerup talks to Nicola Rayner about her decision to stop dancing; Zoë Anderson finds out about a new production of the stage musical Guys and Dolls in Manchester; Graham Watts catches up with tap dance legend Savion Glover; and we highlight a new display at the Victoria and Albert Museum by Anthony Crickmay, one of the greatest dance photographers of our age.
In addition to the above, there is so much more in this month’s magazine to keep you interested, and just enough space here to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas!
