As part of Canada’s 85th Anniversary celebrations, I was inducted into their auspicious Honour Roll. It was a weekend filled with wonderful alumni events, the highlight of which was honouring André Lewis’s outstanding Artistic Directorship of the RWB over the past 30 years. He is stepping down from this position but will no doubt continue to be celebrated far and wide for his contribution to dance. Please consider making a donation in his name to the DTRC – Dancer Transition Resource Centre, a national organization celebrating its 40th anniversary of supporting professional dancers in all phases of their career. André has been named one of this season’s “Champions of Dance” and I am proud to support my friend and colleague in this fundraising initiative.
