Dancing Times Magazine January 2012 Edição anterior

Firstly, all at Dancingtimes would like to wish our readers a Happy New Year! As the magazine moves into its 102nd year, we endeavour to continue bringing you all the very best in dance, be it news, reviews, opinions, interviews and features. In this issue, Luke Jennings, dance critic of The Observer, thinks it high time classical ballet cleaned out the attic in his Talking Point column; Kathryn Wade offers advice to young graduates about to embark on auditions for professional contracts; Debbie Malina investigates hypermobility in dancers; Laura Dodge asks if dance has become gymnastics; and Gerald Dowler interviews The Royal Ballet’s Nehemiah Kish. As ever, this month we also feature a wide range of reviews of dance performances from companies in the UK and across the world. Finally, I would like to start the year on a very happy note by offering our congratulations to Nicola Rayner, editorial assistant of this magazine
and editor of sister magazine, Dance Today, who married her fiancé, Jason Draper, in Wales on December 2.
