Future Plans

     2010/2011.  AAPAE plans two Invitations during the 2010/2011 season: the 6th Annual Invitational at Lincoln Center and the 2nd annual American World Stage Invitational Kennedy Center in Washinton, DC. 

     Though groups previously performing with AAPAE have precedence, both Invitationals will probably be functioning mainly as auditions for the AAPAE London 2012 Invitational

     2011/2012.  AAPAE may schedule an audition Invitational, but will be actively working with the 100+ groups coming to the London 2012 Invitational, which will include choruses, orchestras, ethnic and folk performing groups as well as dance of all styles.
