ADAD congratulates Irie! Dance Theatre who will be launching a new Dance and Diversity Foundation Degree in September 2008. The course is a unique opportunity for full-time dance training that includes African and Caribbean Dance. It is being delivered through City and Islington College in partnership with London Metropolitan University. For more information, check the Irie! website at http://www.iriedancetheatre.org/.

Along with English National Ballet and Candoco, members of Zoonation represented London at the Olympic Handover ceremony in Beijing. Congratulations to Artistic Director, Kate Prince and the Zoonation family! ADAD was especially excited to see Chrissie Adesina (ADAD Trailblazer 2006/07) performing in the piece.
