Before anyone makes any comments, one should know that funds are not given unless a true Good Cause is identified and this obviously has to be backed up by valid original documentation.

Felix, through YADA, is always striving to bring the dance scene in Malta to new horizons and with this he is also creating opportunities and giving exposure to our Maltese dancers.

Unfortunately what he thought was going to be a big step for his company and for Malta, did not turn out to be as he wished … not because the show was not good – in fact the show had some outstanding reviews from various critics in San Francisco – but because of a huge mismanagement from the American agents with whom the contract was signed.

This venture was supposed to take Maltese talent out of our shores … and yes, it was a project … and the Government saw that it was a project that deserved to be assisted.

One thing for sure is that Felix has dance in Malta at heart and I am sure his conscience is clear as whatever he does is done out of passion and not glory.

Felix has always taken care of his dancers and if it were not for him in Malta there are not many opportunities for dancers. His USA tour by no means failed and was a lovely experience on the whole.

I have no idea what Felix used the money for, but if it was to fund the company then thank God because the Yada Dance Company is a beautiful experience and there isn’t anything like it in Malta.

The show was not rubbish. It was a great show, with lots of effort from the entire team. If you had bothered to do some research before commetning, you could have watched it in Malta, where thousands of Maltese had the pleasure of watching the show. Whether it failed in the US or not, he was the first to even attempt to put on a show of that size in America and give that opportunity to Maltese dancers. Tghid he took 30,000 euros and put them in his pocket. He took a big gamble, asked for some additional help (FYI 30k is nothing when putting on a show like that) and unfortunately it did not pay off in every way.

Absolutely not! Both he and his partner have always voted PN.

This person attended a set of seminars on Investor Education at the BOV Centre Santa Venera. (Today we had the last presentation). Where did he invest those €2,000?

This is just not on.

The show was rubbish, apparently.
