No Bad News!


No Bad News with Miss Candice!


Fun dancing with my students during Joffrey Ballet School's Summer Dance Intensive for their Youth program.  I'll always be grateful to the late Jo Matos, who supported me and allowed me to bring the joy of THE WIZ performed as a revue as an example of the vast diaspora sounds and dance styles of American Jazz dance to Joffrey's young students.   The Wiz has gospel, second line, Jazz, R&B, club even hints of "the ballroom," and of course iconic torch songs with incredible meaning to all walks of life. We had a blast!
