#FREECLASS
In Memory of Clive Burton
Clive Burton brought dance and, in particular, ballet, his love of the art form, the performers and the sheer exuberance of movement to his many friends and to a wider audience through his work as Dance Editor of Ritz Magazine and as a contributor for The Dancing Times.
Clive served on the Laurence Olivier Awards dance panel and was responsible for the UK marketing and PR support programme for Cuban superstar, Jose Manuel Carreno.
For the final years of his all too short life, Clive was an active and committed reviewer for the Theatre World website.
We, his many friends, could think of no better way to commemorate his death than to support young dancers and we wish you all survival and success in a better world tomorrow.
