Dancing Times Magazine August 2022 Edición anterior

There is a Spanish theme – quite unintentionally – to this latest issue of Dancing Times. Not only do we report back on the most recent Flamenco Festival held at Sadler’s Wells in London in late June and early July this year, which presented a host of excellent dancers and companies, but we also hear from the Spanish ballerina Tamara Rojo, who steps down from her position as artistic director of English National Ballet later in the year in order to take up the role of artistic director of San Francisco Ballet. On a sadder note, in Obituaries we pay tribute to Marina Keet, one of the founders of the Spanish Dance Society, whose love of Spanish dance in all its forms made her a passionate advocate for the artform in this country and abroad – including Spain.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we find out more about Artists Becoming, an institutional consulting business that seeks to elevate standards of wellbeing across the dance industry, and we consider the subject of relaxation and some of the techniques that can help bring the mind and body of the dancer back into balance. Finally, we also record the reunion of a long-lost company, London City Ballet.
