Producer Matt Straub spent a month in London investigating venues, hotel and transportation options for our groups appearing in the AAPAE 2012 London Invitational. Lodging and transportation will be in high demand as this coincides with the London Summer Olympics.

Directors Mark Jacob and Carrie Straub have recently returned from London where they were continuing venue and lodgings negotiations.

Applications for the remaining performance positions are being accepted now.

The Fourth Invitational at Lincoln Center was a great success. It featured choral as well

as dance and saw a large number of new groups as well as returning troupes.

We thank the backstage staff at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center for supporting our mission, and recognize the innovative directors and dedicated performers who practiced unending hours to make this a successful event.

The Select Invitational at Carnegie Hall, Feb. 1st, was a success with 18 groups packing the Hall. Our compliments to the high level of choreography and to the hard work of the participating groups.
