Dancing Times  |  July 2017
Summer is in full swing, but with little in the way of traditional ballet on view in the UK this month, we investigate instead a range of other dance styles. Not only does Martin Cutler report on the 2017 Blackpool Dance Festival in the Dance Today section of the magazine, but Iris Fanger takes a look at contemporary styles in tap dancing as performed by Dorrance Dance, the US-based ensemble headed by Michelle Dorrance that comes to the UK for the first time this month. Arlene Phillips talks to Nicola Rayner about her new one-woman show, and Marianka Swain finds out how dancers and choreographers are becoming more involved in the movement direction of plays and films.
In the last issue of Dancing Times Zoë Anderson interviewed Royal Ballet principal Zenaida Yanowsky on the eve of her retirement from the company; in Dance Scene this month I report in full on her final performances in London. This appears alongside reviews on the Mark Morris Dance Group in Liverpool, Cathy Marston’s new production of Les Liaisons dangereuses for the Royal Danish Ballet and Northern Ballet’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
