For a town the size of ours, Fort Wayne has a vibrant dance community. We like to think that we play a part in its diversity and excellence, but today Fort Wayne is put on the world’s radar because of our colleague over at the Fort Wayne Ballet.
Karen Gibbons-Brown, the Artistic and Executive Director of the Ballet, was recently honored in the new book, On Technique by Dean Speer. According to the Ballet’s website, the book features eighteen of the world’s most respected ballet masters, principals and artistic directors.
Check out the Ballet’s website if you’d like to order a copy of the book, or to check out their upcoming events.
And thanks for supporting the dance scene in Fort Wayne!
