Varna prize-winning Katherine Barkman is a dancer in a hurry
Katherine Barkman, Ballet Manila’s (BM) American import, won the silver medal in the women’s senior category in Varna, the Olympiad of dance held in Bulgaria after which other dance competitions have been patterned. As a professional competition, Varna’s standards are stringent. No less than Varna jury president, Vladimir Vasiliev, dubbed as “God of Dance” during his Bolshoi Ballet days, congratulated Barkman.
