About
DANCE Magazine
The
first issue of the ISTD's magazine was published over
100 years ago in 1907! The
publication was, and still is, the main vital source
of communication amongst all members of the Society.
What
an achievement. There must have been thousands of individuals
who have contributed over the years. Having reached
this magnificent milestone we would like to thank all
those contributors, past and present, for their involvement.
Dance
Journal, as it was known back in 1907, has gone through
many changes but one thing that has remained a constant
is the commitment of those individuals who have contributed
to it, in whatever shape or form.
There
are not many publications which are still being published
after 100 years and no doubt the first editor Charles
D’Albert would have been delighted to know that,
when penning his foreword to the first edition, dance
teachers across the globe would one day celebrate the
100th birthday of the publication.
On
reading his foreword I was struck by the similarities
between what was said then and what I had intended to
say now on this very page. Charles D’Albert was
far more eloquent in making it clear that your feedback
is needed to progress DANCE magazine forward. So please
do take advantage of the Letters Page we have (re)launched.
Tell us what you think of the revamp and more importantly
what else you would like to see in this publication.
DANCE
magazine is now published quarterly and sent out to
the ISTD's 10,000 members based
in more than 50 countries across the northern and southern
hemispheres.
The magazine reaches examiners, teachers, dancers and
students who support the vast array of dance styles
covered in every issue. They can
read about competitions, events and news from all the
different dance styles around the globe.
Information
is also given on courses, training, health and much
much more.
It's
no wonder that this innovative quarterly magazine proves
popular with companies wishing to reach a broad dance
population.
Read
the following comments some of our readers have made
regarding DANCE magazine:
"I
find the magazine one of the most interesting dance
publications I receive - so clearly arranged. I do look
forward to receiving each copy and that is why I find
myself keeping it and looking back over past issues
periodically, thanks to you all concerned."
"I am very impressed with with DANCE magazine. Having
only just gained my Cecchetti Associate I haven't had
many copies of DANCE. However the ones I have read have
been most interesting and very informative."
"I
have retired from Ballet, although I do Ballroom and
Latin American for pleasure. As I live on the Isle of
Man and am therefore a little isolated from the mainstream
of events, I really welcome the magazine as a means
of keeping in touch"
"...Keep
up the good work with a very high standard magazine
and excellent communication with a reasonable membership
subscription"
"I
always look forward to DANCE magazine.."
"The magazine is a wonderful lifeline to teachers overseas
as to what is happening at HQ or changes in the syllabi,
so a very big 'thank you' for putting it out so regularly."
"I
really enjoy the magazine and think the photographs
are superb"
