Dancing Times Magazine January 2022 Back Issue

Happy New Year to you all! As both 2020 and 2021 proved to have completely unexpected consequences during their course, I’m not exactly sure what will be in store for us in the coming months, but let us hope that dance will continue to excite and engage us all in 2022. Rest assured, Dancing Times has every intention to continue being here, reporting on the world of dance as we always have since 1910.
In this issue, we find out more about how dance has been overcoming COVID-19, with principal dancer Daniel Camargo explaining how becoming a freelance dancer at this time has helped expand his career as a performing artist. We also travel to Latin America to hear from dance companies re-emerging from the pandemic. Julia Cheng reveals her ideas behind the choreography for the new West End production of the stage musical Cabaret, and Marianka Swain looks back at an extraordinary series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Strange as it might seem, we also celebrate the return of The Nutcracker, that indestructible Christmas favourite, to companies in cities across the UK, many of whom had to cancel performances of the ballet last year when it became clear another lockdown was about to be enforced.
