In celebrating the Bicentennial of Lafayette's Farewell Tour, Julia Bengtsson and Alan Jones have been awarded a grant from the CND ( Centre national de la danse is an institution sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture. It studies dance in all its aspects, and is located in Pantin, in northeastern Paris.). They are researching and creating a dance program for the NYBDC to be a part of a tour celebrating Lafayette's contribution to the young United States. Look for more news as we go forward with this exciting project. Congratulations Julia and Alan!!!
