Thank you to our new BAD Company (Performing Arts students) who took part in the Twinning Celebrations in the Malls on Saturday - they were very brave to face the weather dancing outside while our friends from Alencon, France sang and Braine L'Alleud, Belgium played wind instruments.  They performed choreography by Sean McLeod (NYIDE), Paula Conduit (Vortex Dance Comapny) and Tanya Schipelbaum (Principal).  They gained some new friend during the 4 days of rehearsals and social activities and we have been invited to Braine L'Alleud next September for their Dance Week. Click here for some pictures.  Thanks to Daniel Garnier at BDBC for in viting us to take part.
