what is UNESCO

[lynnatbeach]

Advisory Board of the Classical Dance Alliance and the UNESCO International Dance Council

Can someone give an explanation of these?

When these appear in a description of a ballet school, what does it signify?

Thank you!

UNESCO = United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.

 

Not sure that a dance SCHOOL could be on the advisory board, but an artistic director might be.

The CDA is a relatively new venture, meeting at various venues. They have a training course for character coming up in June at the Baryshnikov Center (NYC). I wish them good luck and a preservation of high standards. They seem Vaganova-oriented, but that may be a function of who's joined so far.

 

 

UNESCO is the United Nations Economic, Social and Cultural Organization.

The International Dance Council is a subsidiary body within the larger operation of UNESCO, and the United Nations as a whole.

 

Both are reputable organizations.

 

It signifies that the director of the school gets around, and knows some pretty high-functioning people.
