I know that Varna IBC is coming up...! The competition will take place from July 15th -- 30th in Varna, Bulgaria. Is anyone attending the event? Are there any former IBC medalists who will be participating in the competition? Jeannie, where are you?! :)

I have some information on the Chinese dancers only.

After the first round, Zhang Rao, a male dancer from the National Ballet of China, ranked NO. 1, and his partner Jin Yao ranked second(at Senior level).

Another Chinese male dancer ranked first at the junior level.

Sorry I have only heard about the Chinese dancers.

FYI.

Jeannie, unfortunately, seems to have a business travel schedule that doesn't take ballet competitions into account! I have a friend going to be on the critics panel, as it turns out, and I'll get a report when he comes back, but no news in advance. Won't they mostly be the same people who were at Jackson? There are some dancers who seem to do the competition circuit, rather like golfers and marathon runners :)

Thank you for telling all the prize winners. As far as I can see only the mens bronze medallist is missing. Do you know who it is ?

By the way, was there also a prize for the best non competing partner?:)

I've just received my copy of the Sept. issue of the UK magazine "Dance Expression", which is a special issue devoted to the Varna IBC. There is a long report on the Varna competion by Jean Rush with many lovely photos by Ken Rush. Jean Rush was a member of the international press jury for this 20th anniversary competition.
