Nice to see that the TV round-up did show Kristen McNally and Marcelino Sambe collecting the award for Crystal Pite and Francesca Velicu thanking Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg for telling her about ENB.

 

The post I had to delete earlier in toto was bemoaning the fact that some daily newspapers (in  print and online) were not including the dance awards in their summaries. But I named the wrong publication!
