NEW LECTURE SERIES ON THE HISTORY OF DANCE

A new lecture series on the history of dance has been announced by the Sarasota International Dance Festival of Florida. The programs are the creation of Robert de Warren, whose distinguished global career as an artistic director of ballet companies encompassed positions as director of the National Ballet of Iran, the Northern Ballet Theatre in the United Kingdom, and La Scala in Milan before leading the Sarasota Ballet of Florida to worldwide recognition.


He founded the Sarasota International Dance Festival in June 2010, which sponsored the Carreño Dance Festival, bringing to Sarasota pre-professional students and a renowned faculty from several foreign countries and the United States.


The lecture series, presented by Mr. de Warren, includes multimedia presentations, From Crinolines and Heels to Tutus on Pointe – Three Centuries of Ballet and From Tutus on Pointe to Barefoot on Stage – A History of Dance in the 20th and 21st Centuries.


The lecture series has been booked by cultural and academic institutions such as the Life Long Learning Academy of University of South Florida, Santa Fe Community College. The Longboat Key Education Center, and Harrison School of the Arts. Julie Kent, principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, says of the series: “Robert de Warren is a wonderful, charismatic voice from the dance world, who delivers our history with great style and panache.”
