COLEG CAMBRIA is to pilot a dance programme for people with Parkinson’s disease. Led by National Dance Company Wales (NDCWales) the free virtual classes will be for those living with the condition, as well as carers, family, and friends. As part of an affiliated hub of English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme, the initiative was launched in 2015 in South Wales and moved online following the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, with the support of Digital Communities Wales, giving all participants the confidence and skills to use their laptops and tablets to access the sessions. Now targeting new members in the north of the country, classes this Spring will focus on two dance films from English National Ballet’s recent digital season - Senseless Kindness by Yuri Possokhov, and Arielle Smith’s Jolly Folly.
San Francisco Ballet s online opening night could have been cause for concern. Dance does not record well; how diminished a thing is this going to be?
Would they be ready? Would the dancers be out of shape? Would their technique have gone ragged? Had they have lost stage presence? Show signs of strain? Would long-time favorites dancers still be here? Would they be wearing masks of forced gaiety? And also, will they answer the questions of diversity and inclusion?
Yes they were ready. Yes, we have a Black ballerina, Nikisha Fogo, who danced ravishingly. Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson left Ms. Fogo s dancing to prove itself as the climax of the evening; but he set out to answer the readiness question immediately.

THERE was a sense of excitement afoot as American dancer and choreographer David Hallberg stepped into the shoes of the Australian Ballet director of 20 years, David McAllister, to announce the 2021 season for the flagship company, themed as “a new era of artistry”.
Hallberg, who while a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre had become the first American to join the Bolshoi Ballet as a principal in 2011, first visited the Australian Ballet as a guest artist in 2010. In 2016, after more than two years being treated by the Australian Ballet’s artistic health team for an injury, he relaunched his career, partnering the company’s principal artist, Amber Scott, in “Coppélia”, during which time he became deeply immersed in the life of the company.
