Bbodance has made two announcements recently, one sad, one happy.
The first is that its former CEO, John Travis, has died, after a long illness. Travis (18/8/ 1945 to 2/2/ 2020) was the CEO of bbodance for over 20 years. Vale. He will be farewelled at a funeral in London on February 24.
The second was that Julie Bowers has been appointed the organisation’s new director of artistic development. Formerly with the Royal Ballet and the Royal Academy of Dance, she spearheaded the creation of the organisation's musical theatre syllabus and the filming of video syllabi and teaching aids for all bbodance genres.
Bbodance celebrates its 90th anniversary this year.
