LARA LANFRANCO recently returned from the United Kingdom, where she attended a five-day intensive course organised by the Spanish Dance Society. The course was awarded to Ms Lanfranco by the society last year after the June examination session held in Malta in which she scored top marks.

The course, conducted by two renowned instructors - Immacolada Ortega and Juan Mata, both of Spanish origin - focused mainly on Flamenco, technique and Bulerias.

Ms Lanfranco was singled out to demonstrate some of the Grade 5 syllabus to teachers, choreographers and fellow students who attended the course. The society officials were so impressed by her technique and passion for the dance that they invited her to attend again next summer.

Lara, who is a lawyer, is a graduate of the College of Jazz Dance and is currently furthering her studies in Spanish Dance under Nina Winter. This year she will be assisting in the teaching of some of the Spanish Dance classes at the College of Jazz Dance. Courses start on September 26. For further information and registration call 7942-1864 or 9944-5703.
