One of the reasons people are awaiting the new Dance Centre so anxiously is their expectation that its opening will breathe new life and purpose into a community that is nowhere near as vigorous as it was 10 years ago." <P>"Far and away the finest dance experience of the year was the full-length version of A Midsummer Night's Dream that John Alleyne created for Ballet BC. That ballet, entitled The Faerie Queen, set a new standard for balletic excellence in Vancouver, proving yet again that there is not so fine or so fierce a company of ballet dancers anywhere else in North America."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><A HREF="http://www.vancouversun.com/newsite/entertainment/001230/5020550.html" TARGET=_blank>more...</A><P><p>[This message has been edited by Marie (edited December 30, 2000).]
