The National Ballet of Canada's
Creating Dances Summer Camp July 3-13, 2007
June 27, 2007...Toronto...Ontario... The National Ballet of Canada's Creating Dances Summer Camp
returns for its 14th year from July 3 to 13 at the company's studios in The Walter Carsen Centre.
Creating Dances Summer Camp gives up to 50 children, aged 7 to 12, the opportunity to explore creativity
through music and dance. Presented in association with Harbourfront Centre, participants are taught by professional dancers
and musicians skilled in encouraging creative development. The premise of the camp is not to train children in a dance technique,
but to encourage them to explore their imaginations and creativity using the disciplines of dance and music. Campers share
their creations with family and friends on the final day of the session.
Creating Dances Summer Camp will be taught this summer by National Ballet Second Soloists Alejandra
Perez-Gomez and Lisa Robinson, National Ballet Orchestra Principal Violist Angela Rudden
and Composer/Musician Edgardo Moreno.
To register or for further details, call the HarbourKidsCamp Hotline at 416 973 4093.

March 5, 2007...Toronto, Ontario... Tina Pereira, 24, of The National Ballet of Canada and
Ulrik Birkkjær, 22, of the Royal Danish Ballet won The Seventh International Competition for The Erik
Bruhn Prize on Saturday, March 3 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
Tina Pereira began the competition dancing with Keiichi Hirano in an excerpt
from Le Corsaire for the classical portion of the competition. During the performance Mr. Hirano tore his Achilles
tendon and Ms. Pereira continued on her own. During the intermission Artistic Director Karen Kain made
a quick programme change, replacing the planned world premiere of veer by Canadian choreographer Sabrina
Matthews with the balcony pas de deux from Romeo and Juliet. Principal Dancer Guillaume Côté,
who was in the audience for the performance, stepped in to partner Ms. Pereira. The pair had performed the piece together
at a recent guesting engagement.
Ulrik Birkkjær, a member of the Royal Danish Ballet's corps de ballet, danced the pas de
deux from Flower Festival in Genzano and a new work by Tim Rushton, opus, with Yao
Wei.
Eight dancers in total from The National Ballet of Canada, American Ballet Theatre, The Royal Ballet and the
Royal Danish Ballet competed for the prestigious prize. Each company was represented by one male and one female dancer between
the ages of 18 and 26 who danced a classical and contemporary work.
Veronica Tennant and Rex Harrington, hosts of the evening, paid tribute
to National Ballet of Canada founder Celia Franca, who passed away at the age of 85 on February 19, 2007
in Ottawa. The National Ballet of Canada performed Voluntaries in honour of Glen Tetley who died
on January 26, 2007 at the age of 80.

Eli Del Negro is a mexican-italian bellydancer, currently living in Toronto.
She is definitly one of the very best bellydancers in Mexico.
In Canada
she has performed in places such as Shiraz, Ambrosia, 1001 Nights and Myth  Restaurant.
She's currently searching more places and venues to perform, therefore contact her via this e-mail offering her work.
Currently she has two styles of shows. One, Traditional Bellydance, suits perfectly in Greek, Arabic, Fusion or
Oriental Restaurants and Lounges.
The Other, Modern Bellydance Fusion, is a more energetic, uplifting performance, dancing to the newest trance, house,
and electronic music. This goes perfect in private partys, social and special events, clubs, bars, concerts, etc.
The lenght of the show is usually 25 minutes, sometimes divided in two appearances with different costumes, and it can
be adapted to different settings and audiences.
Her website is still in Spanish (will transate it soon) but meanwhile you might want to see it in order to see her
