Guest isabella Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Is there any more information about these RBS master classes at Alvin Ailey. The five-hour time slot surely will be divided into several classes? How does one book? Link to comment
BW Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 isabella, it was stated on an earlier "thread" that the person to contact was Mignon Furman. I did contact her quite a while ago, gave her the name and address and never did receive any information...but hope springs eternal! So give her a call! 212-787-9500 Let us know if you find out anything! Link to comment
