Anna Wyman 30th Anniversary





ANNA Wyman is a lady of distinction, taste and talent. Her name is synonymous with contemporary dance here in Vancouver but her spirit and creativeness are far reaching. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of her dance school, friends and family honoured her on Sept. 30 with a private party at West Van's Charlwood Estate. For many years she has taught and earned the respect of everyone she knows. There were some glowing tributes to her as guests gathered in the bright sunlit gardens to celebrate and share in her success.
