There is a theme of “passing things on” running through the current issue of Dancingtimes. In Talking Point, Mindy Aloff wonders why, unlike the UK, so many in the US dance community seem reluctant to recognise the value of dance notation; Zoë Anderson talks to Christopher Nourse about the establishment of The Frederick Ashton Foundation, launched late last year; and Gerald Dowler interviews Ivan Liska, director of the Bavarian State Ballet, about his plans for the company that has just launched a “Very British?!” season in Munich. On page 27, Debbie Malina focuses on how Dance UK is progressing with its important work in establishing a National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science. On page 71 you can find details of the book and DVD sale we will be holding on February 27 and, finally, Paul Arrowsmith sifts through the findings of the dance programming survey we published in our September 2011 issue, and comes up with some interesting statistics. We offer our thanks to everyone who participated in the questionnaire, and reveal the name of the winner of the prize draw on page 35.
