It is Monday 14th December and I am in Lagos, Portugal. This pretty, historic town is preparing for Christmas and there are decorations everywhere. All along the main avenida the palm trees are wreathed in lights, and despite the recession, the shops are busy.
But I am not here because it is Christmas. I have volunteered to help with the administration for Dance Algarve 2010, and this will be the main focus of my energy for the next few months.
Everything is in place - the distinguished Faculty are booked and confirmed, and their travel and accommodation arrangements made. The programme for the students offers a stimulating mix of classical and modern dance, flamenco and mask workshops, and there is the opportunity for performance on the last night of the Course.
On the two preceding evenings specially invited groups will perform for the public, and this year we are honoured to have the CAPE JUNIOR BALLET with us once again. The students will attend the Course by day, and enchant us for two nights with their artistry, under the dynamic direction of Dianne Cheesman.
The rest of the programme for these evenings is as yet unconfirmed. More news will be posted soon!
