Our friend Patricia at Swan Lake Forest was excited to share the good news with us: Not only will renowned ballet dancer Julio Bocca become the spokesman for their development, but the recently closed deal includes setting up a dance studio on the premises, to be called Estudio de Danza Clásica y Comedia Musical Julio Bocca-Ricky Pashkus.
Bocca, who retired a couple of years ago, has been visiting Uruguay often. This year press reports indicated he would start a ballet company for the Teatro Solís, the country´s recently restored performing arts center.
Frankly, besides the clever marketing idea, having a world-class dancer set up a studio in Punta del Este is a clear positivie for our town, and the fact that it's located on the less commercially developed western corridor is also welcome..
