In this photo we see the Javanese dancing girls which were procured for the TBI Semarang Grand Opening. Clearly there were great hopes held for TBI Semarang once. Retty- Luke Preece’s predecessor as the Head of Franchise- had sold yet another franchise and things were looking up for TBI. It now had a presence in Indonesia’s fifth biggest city! It was 2008, just four a half short years ago, when the school opened its doors amid fanfare and revelry. We have been unable to determine whether Mariam Kartikatresni choreographed the production: she does fancy herself as a bit of a hoofer. Nevertheless, the TBI Director, then just a couple of years into her Reign of Error, is shown receiving a floral garland around her neck in the second picture. But, alas, to paraphrase a French poet, “Where, oh where, are the TBI Semarangs and Javanese dancing girls of yesteryear?”
