In December 2010, Trey McIntyre was named the United States Artists Wynn Fellow; the company was featured on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer; and TMP was chosen by the U.S. Department of State as one of four American dance companies chosen to participate in DanceMotion USA. As part of this program Trey McIntyre Project will tour to China, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam in Spring 2012 serving as a U.S. Cultural Ambassador.

Festival Dance Student invited to Kirov Academy of Ballet!
Festival Dance student, Simone Wulfhorst, had a chance to go to the Kirov academy of ballet in Washington D.C. this summer.nbsp; Simone, daughter of Julie Parker and J.D. Wulfhorst, stayed in D.C. for three weeks and said she had a fabulous time and learned a lot.nbsp; Shortly after Simone returned, she received a letter from the director of Kirov inviting her to the year round training program and boarding school.nbsp; The director complemented Simone on her talent and advanced skills for her age as well as her spirit and attitude.nbsp; Mother, Julie Parker, said ". . . as a student of Festival Dance in our little town Simone has learned so much from the school.nbsp; Thanks.nbsp; Festival Dance has made a big difference in her young life and helped her attain great skills already.nbsp; Although I doubt she will start attending the Kirov year round this year, I hope that she can do so in the future."nbsp;
From everyone at Festival Dance, congratulation Simone!nbsp; We are so proud of you!nbsp;
