Carl Alan Awards 2010 - Nominations

The IDTA is delighted to announce the names of the shortlised nominees for the 2010 Carl Alan Awards.

The Association would like to extend its thanks to all the Selection Committees for their work and to the independent chairmen, George Coad, Richard Hopkins and Shirley Thompson-Bradley

Carl Alan Awards

The Carl-Alan Awards were first introduced in 1953 by Eric Morley and were named after the joint Chairmen of Mecca Carl Heimann and Alan Fairley.

The International Dance Teachers' Association is proud to present the 2010 Carl Alan Awards on Sunday 7th February, in conjunction with the IDTA President’s Dinner and Dance, at the Lancaster London (formerly the Royal Lancaster Hotel). The IDTA are pleased that all three sections of the awards are presented: Freestyle, Theatre, Ballroom, Latin & Sequence

There are five categories of awards in each section: Performer's Award, Teacher's Award, Competitive Coach/Choreography Award, Outstanding Services to Dance Award and Lifetime Achievement Award

All recognised dance associations or societies were invited to make nominations in all categories and each member body of the British Dance Council or Theatre Dance Council International was invited to send a delegate to represent them on each of the selection committees. The IDTA remained independent in the selection process.

From the many nominations received, the selection committees are asked to short-list up to three nominees in each category. To be nominated for a Carl Alan Award by your peers reflects the nominee's considerable contribution to the world of dance. IDTA would like to congratulate all the nominees; unfortunately there can only be one winner in each category.
